Very light - and not in a good way. There isn’t much buckwheat flavor, nor is there any other flavor present. Basically a bland blonde ale.

Light hop aroma. Some sweetness in the pale malts. Basically tastes halfway between a subpar APA and a prety good pale lager with the buckwheat adding a little bit of sourness and an interesting finish.

Bottle. Bitter aroma with a light hop note. Smooth sweet and fruity body with a light fruit palate. Light hop notes. Comes of a little boring.

650 ml bottle labeled as Morimoto Soba Ale. Pours a light pale somewhat hazy yellow with an adequate white head. Malty, rather earthy nose. Light body offset by a noted nuttiness. Nicely balanced with a semi-dry finish.

Bottle courtesy of foureyedgeek. Mild aroma of raw grains; toasted malt with cardboard and papery hops, neutral fruit. Bit of floral spice but can’t delineate what it is. Hazy amber, dull, with thin off-white head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation. Starts with mild fruity esters. Light grain. Cardboard. After of dill and butterscotch (odd combo). Not very impressive. May be off? Tad sour at the finish, too.

A fan of buckwheat to begin with (my main e-mail handle is buckwheatcafe) I love that Rogue used this underappreciated grain in the brewing process. Light-bodied and refreshing, delightfully balanced beer. Not mind-blowing but not all beer needs to be.
(re-rate from bottle): warm honey color. Bland aroma with mild fruitiness. Butterscotch flavors are sweet and cloying. Mouthfeel is fizzy. Funky? Off? Had to pour it down the drain. Will not change scores until I get it again

bottle as Soba. Bready doughy aroma. The hops is upfront in the taste with some crispy wheat. Dry at the end, leaving a hoppy aftertaste. interesting.
