I had to do some googling to learn that Soba is Japanese for Buckwheat. Now the alternate names make sense! Pours a cloudy orange/amber color with a thin but extremely persistent light tan head. Nose is of nuts and grains, very intriguing from the first sniff. Taste is a nice balance of malt, floral hop, and a nuttiness that iss almost like pecan. It reminds me of some of the pecan ales that are becoming a fad here in the deep south. Who knew buckwheat tasted like nuts? Pretty good stuff.

22oz bottle. A cloudy light orange body that was covered by a two finger head that took forever to die and left a lace ring down the glass. A floral hop smell, maybe some citric notes, along with some spices and clove. This beer had a good hop presence in a medium body, with a citric taste and a dry finish. Also a hint of roasted and caramel malts for a lightly sweet taste.

Rating straight down the middle because the beer is straight down the middle. A light, fairly boring brew without much to say. The buckwheat may give it a very slight boost in flavor, but it is not enough to make the beer interesting.

Metallic, thin, tinny not to mention grassy and dry. A tad astringent with some funky citrus notes . Some kind of spice that I can only attribute to the buckwheat given I have never sampled. Not a fan.

Tastes like a pilsener. I like the carbonation, it suits this beer well. A little bit of citrus makes it a pleasant and highly drinkable beer.

When I picked out a Buckwheat ale in the store I was hoping that it would actually be a wheat beer. It did not appear to be cloudy. Little citrus in the aroma or flavor. It was better than a Bud summer beer though.

(bottle) A cloudy, light-orange beer with a medium sized white head. The aroma has sweet fruit and flowers. Flavor is sweet with only a small hop edge. Grassy and earthy. Smooth, soft, and medium bodied.
