Jan 23, 2006 Bomber, Morimoto Soba Signature Ale. Pours a brilliant golden harvest moon color with lots of effervescent fast-rising bubbles throughout and a medium off-white tanish head that mostly stays around and gives some spotty lacing. Fruity, floral hop bouquet with caramel malt notes. Hoppy, lasting bitter and acidic flavor, sweet caramel malt and brown sugar flavor. Medium bodied and fizzy-spicy palate.

Jan 14, 2006 Updated: Feb 1, 2006Morimoto Soba Ale Bottle. Decent head, dissipated quickly, golden color, slightly hazy. Smells hoppy. A bit of tart or sourness to this, but for the most part quite sweet and fruity. A good beer, though far from my favorite Rogue.

Jan 9, 2006 Morimoto Soba, bottle. Poured light amber, hazy, with minimal head. Wheaty, citrus nose with some sourness. Taste is very light and clean, with a little bite. Didn’t really taste the toastiness. A subtle, good brew.

Jan 7, 2006 Poured a hazy light orange color with a small amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is very citrusy, especially smelling of grapefruit and pineapple. Flavor is very light and crisp with a very different distinct flavor which must be buckwheat. Overall, an interesting light tasting brew. WOuld be very good in the summer on a hot day.

Jan 5, 2006 22z bottle. Morimoto Soba. Golden amber hue, with white head and large bubbles. Wheaty yeasty nose. Citrus and bitter. Somewhat rubbery.Lively in the mouth. There was a flavor that I could not put my finger on, which was probably the buckwheat. Good but not great.

Dec 30, 2005 Bomber: Morimoto Soba Signature Ale. Allspice aroma and not much hops in the nose. Hazy, murky orange- almost amber with a huge, lasting off-white head. Not much lace, but still, an excellent appearance. Has some spice at initial mouthfeel. Is that that "soba" that the bottle says is one of the ingredients? What’s soba? Nice bite and pretty well balanced and pleasant. Session quality, however, my mid-bottle, I was tired of it; just didn’t keep my tongue all that interested.
