From a bottle of Morimoto Soba Ale at Woodman’s. Big white head over golden pour, notes of buckwheat, citrus and caramel. Nice roasted buckwheat flavor

The bottle has changed. Now it reads the ’soba’ signature ale. Pours a hazy dirty maze color with a light white head. No specific taste to note in this brew but it is extremely smooth and medium-bodied. In fact, this beer just keeps coming on with a light well-balanced palate. What a solid brew.

Bottle says "Soba". Pours a pale toffee-gold with a gorgeous uneven cloudy head with stiff peaks. Very very faint, light, syrupy aroma. Very... interesting taste. Very corn-like, doughy and soft, with vodka-like alcohol notes, especially near the end. Some hops at the start, but they peter out into faint sweet malting which is so soft and light that it can be forgiven. Body is slightly thin, but carb is decent. A most unusually palatable beverage, I can’t really think why this beer doesn’t offend me, because really, it should, but I think I’ll just keep sipping for a while, if that’s ok...

Bottled as Morimoto Sobe Ale. Light amber color with small head. Feels like a wheat beer with some extra flavors, maybe some citrus. Decent beer, but not highly recommended. Should try at least once.

Bottle, 22oz. Aroma is citrus-like with notes of caramel. Ambercolor. Flavor is OK, but leaves the mouth pretty quick. Carbonationlevel is low.

Bottle (Morimoto Soba Ale) at Dæmningen - shared with Karen, Henning & Mette. Clear amber - white head. Sweetness, cactus, grass, light nutty, straw, crisp, light soapy, light perfumed, caramel. Soft body. A bit boring.

Hazy gold color with a thick head. Aroma is a wheat and rye blend. A little soapy. A lot of dark roasted wheat for the flavor. I can only assume this is the buckwheat as I’ve never actually had buckwheat. Dry caramel and sugar. Dry hop finish. Much nicer than I was expecting.

Moriomoto Soba bomber. Somewhat dusty wheat aroma, not standard malt. Lightly hazy gold color with a white head that does some lacing. Thin body. A bit creamy. Carbonation fizz bucks it up a bit. Sort of a nutty flavor, accompanied by citrus, but very little bitter. Decent. A unique citrus aspect to the finish. Difficult to describe, but it is a pleasant finish. Has something of a citrus sour there.
