Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of sweet malt, dry, perfumy. Tastes refreshing and floral dry with a nice crispness on the finish.

Hazy orange with a thin white head. Aroma is musty wheat, coriander, spice, orange zest. Taste is the same, zesty coriander, orange zest and grapefruit. Re-rate: Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Hazy dark yellow, white foam. Aroma is spicy, wheaty, fruity oranges. Taste is the same big heavy wheat body, oranges, light spice finish. Original rating: 7:3:7:3:15

Morimoto Soba Ale is a sparkling, hazy, golden ale with a bubbly white head that fades and leaves nice lacing. It has a citrusy aroma, like orange and wheat. It’s medium-light bodied and fluffy. It feels almost ashy. The citrusy element is present, but the toasted flavor is really the focus. The finish is almost... salty and umami. This is unique and pleasant.

Foamy white head. Body is cloudy yellow body. Delicate aroma. Flavor has an almost peach-like quality to it. Light hoppiness to it. Very nice lightweight bodied beer. Thank you Iron Chef!!

Deep orange pour with white bubbly head. Smells like some kind of vegetable, a bit of caramel. Flavor of vegetable wheat, grass. Kind of light and fresh. Nice carbonation, medium mouthfeel. Too much like vegetables.

Bottle. "Soba Biru" printed in Japanese. It’s not everyday that you run across Rogue beers in Singapore, so naturally I had my hopes set high. Crystal malt obvious in aroma (as with many Rouge beers I think). Some hops detectable. Obviously I’m looking for the soba to shine through, and I’m hard pressed to say that I noticed anything buckwheat or noodle-like. There’s a slight tang maybe, reminiscent of wheat, but as far as my palate could detect, that was it. A little disappointed I leave the empty bottle on my counter and an hours later as I rinse it out for recycling - there it is! Big Big Soba noodle aroma.. Cool!

Bomber. Pours a large, frothy-rocky, off-white, lasting head. Murky, golden colored body. Pleasantly heavy malt aroma of sweet cereal and wheat accompanied by white grape, pear and faint peach with a touch of raisin. Aromas persist in the flavor profile and are accompanied by a touch of raisin. A little tapioca comes through upon exhalation. Light body with average carbonation. Moderately sweet with a clean, lightly bitter finish. Very enjoyable.
