May 30, 2008 On tap. The pour was a slightly cloudy amber and gold in color. The head was white, relatively thin and only spotty lacing was created. The aroma was lots of malt with some sugary sweetness and light nuttiness. The flavor was lots of malt and some honey. Light nuttiness and citrus noted as well. The mouthfeel was thin in body and the finish was a tad long. Just OK, really no interest in drinking again.

May 30, 2008 1/12/08 notes: Pours a pale golden-amber. Coming from Rogue, I had high hopes, but I really couldn’t find anything interesting about the palate or flavor of this one. Nothing jumps out at you. Light body, matched with a light flavor that featured grass and faint skunk. To be honest, just a little better than American Macros. Didn’t do it for me.

May 29, 2008 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.

May 28, 2008 (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.

May 25, 2008 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.

May 24, 2008 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.

May 20, 2008 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.
