Some kind of hybrid beer? I wanted to experiment with Sorachi Ace hops in the summer, a la Brooklyn Brewery's Sorachi Ace Saison, but never got around to it. I also wanted to make a belgian pale ale with American hops and went with the newly available Citra. I combined the beer ideas and because I added the bittering hops to the mash wort, before the liquid extract is added, the beer ends up a bit more bitter (I need a recipe calculator that lets me add malt extract later in the boil). I think this falls into the non-traditional beer style series and when I sampled the beer, it tasted like sweetened citrus fruit, with a dry bitter finish. Need a name for it still.
