Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Aug 26, 2007 Pours golden with a white, fluffy head. Aroma is somewhat toasty. Mouthfeel is light with a lightly toasted, sweet flavor. Some nutty quality is found. A mild hop bitterness accents it well. AR (417), Georgia, USA Aug 25, 2007 Morimoto Soba. A hazy amber coloring. The flavor is a nice blend of hops and malts - not a lot of either. biznizness (930), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Aug 25, 2007 Really a very nice and unique brew. Enjoyed this one from start to finish, although it took me a while to figure out what the heck I was tasting. I have no idea what Soba is. 1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Aug 22, 2007 Had the Japanese bottled version. Pours to a glowing straw caramel colored body with an insane amount of visible carbonation. A tall frothy white head and nice lacing. The aroma is lightly fruity. Dried pineapple and mango. Lots of buckwheat. Buckwheat pancakes. Grain dust is strong. The flavor is extremely grainy. Buckwheat pancakes, grain dust, light pineapple. The palate is slick and dry. Peanutty.
