Sapporo Sorachi 1984

The Sorachi 1984 is an amber coloured ale beer, made with the unique ‘Sorachi’ hops variety from Hokkaido.

Most aromatic hops have tropical fruit and citrus aromas, but this one is completely different. It took me a few sips to figure out what it tastes like, which made the whole drinking experience quite exciting for me. The beer is very hoppy with strong pine aromas upfront and a bittering hops dominated aftertaste. It is as refreshing as a nice walk in spring through a pine tree forest, while being full bodied at the same time. The carbonation makes for an almost creamy mouthfeel and perfectly compliments the flavor.

The Sorachi 1984 is probably the best Sapporo beer I have had so far (and I really like Sapporo beer) and I will definitely go back to get more of it!
