Pours gold with a small head.
Nose shows coconut-like agave sweetness, some green apple and a dill/custard sorachi ace-like note.
Falvours focus on the dill/lemon of the sorachi, little else shows through.

Pours a straw colour, slight haze with large bubbly white head. Nice enough pale.
Smells citric, with notes of crisp green apple and lemon zest. Nice tang, fruit, not much else and not a lot of malt. Again, nice enough.
Taste is a little odd. Again not a huge malt presence, with the tangy fruits coming through early - apple, pear and lemon mostly. Very weird but distinct cinnamon edge. Slight bitter hang to it. Mostly light and pale.
Body is a little thin, really think this is lacking in malt presence even for the style. Nice enough otherwise.
Decent pale ale; nothing very exciting.

A tequila-spiked, Sorachi Ace-hopped pale ale brewed for GABS 2014 in Melbourne. That sounds like something I want to try. So I did. Sampled on tap at the festival.
Pale golden in colour, with a little haze and some fine carbonation. Body is fairly light, and forms a white, minimal head. Not much in the way of lace, just a few fine streaks. Looks decent enough.
Nose is very pleasant. Strangely toasty oak notes come through along with smooth vanilla and a peach aroma that is really quite fragrant. Smooth all around, even if it doesn't have a truly deep complexity.
Peach characters on the front with a little acidity through the centre of the palate. Spicy cinnamon notes come through out of nowhere. On the back the oak comes through giving suggestions of dank cherry and leaving a light seedy character on the finish. Feel is smooth, but light. Really quite good.
Overall, this is surprising and unusual, but pretty nice stuff all-up. Certainly one of the most interesting beers I've had from Ekim.
