Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale

Bottled as Morimoto Soba Ale. Hmmm. This was interesting. Very light in body and flavor. Malty, woodsy ... maybe it was the buckwheat. Kind of thin in every sense. Not really my thing.

now this is known as morimoto soba ale. amber in color. kinda malty but no other discernable flavor. it’s weird but i kinda like it even though it didn’t really taste like anything. hard to explain

(Morimota Soba Ale) Kind of hit me as a lawnmower beer, i dont know if they changed it at all between the two names or not. A light golden pour and mostly grassy flavor. Decent, but nothing to special here really.

Pours cloudy golden, almost reminiscent of a hefeweizen, good amount of light tan head that dissipates quickly. The use of buckwheat is quite original and I enjoyed it a lot.

Pours a hazy golden amber with a medium size foamy white head. Roasted grain and malt dominates the aroma, along with some citrus and nuttiness. Really quite refreshing flavor. Just a bit of grain and malt, some hops, fruit and caramel. I was really pleasantly surprised by this one.

Bottle (Morimoto Soba Ale) pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with a foamy white head. Aromas of grass, honey, citrus, hops, and butterscotch. Flavor is interesting and definitely unique, it includes grass, lemon, and some bitterness from the hops. Aftertaste lingers for a while and some of the roasted characteristics begin to appear. Overall it was pretty good, but I started to lose interest towards the end.

Pours a clear copper colour with a fluffy white head. Sort of dissapointing in flavor- it had a mildly watered down grainy taste and characteristics that tasted like pale lager. Aroma is a little grassy with hint of spice.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, malt and notes of citrus and fruits. Very nice balance.
