Rogue Morimoto Soba Ale

Brewed by Rogue Ales
Style: Specialty Grain
Newport, Oregon USA

Came in a 1pt6oz bottle of unknown age. It pours with a slight light sandy beige head that fades fairly quickly. Color is a deep crimson brown. Clarity is medium to high. The aroma is fairly alcoholic, almost with some lager-like notes. The flavor of the beer is similar to a brown ale, only a bit more roast and not as sweet. The flavor is mild, but the mouthfeel is fairly carbonated. Very drinkable due to its mildness and refreshing level of carbonation.

Just wasn’t a fan of this at all!!! Straw colored pour produced a small white head. Aroma is crushed wheat, citrus, and honey. Flavor is quite grainy with an odd spicy character. Medium mouthfeel. Pass.

a- pours a very cloudy dark orange with a small, white, creamy head and light lacing s- aroma is a very strong maltiness and buckwheat/grain tones t- unique taste that is characterized by an earthy/mulchy maltiness, some slight nut tones which may be overlapping with the buckwheat flavor m- medium-bodied ale that is slightly overly carbonated, a bit watery d- low abv and medium-bodied and taste characteristics make this a solid "good" ale choice that is easy drinking, this is a unique ale in that it is brewed primarily with soba, but lacks any particular "wow" factor regarding smell and taste

Light yello, obviously a light beer. Crystal clear with a creamly light tan head. Little nose, slight yeast. Extreamly interesting flavor, the soba really come though for the first half of the beer. The plalate is fine, though it is a lighter than i generally care for. I greq a little tired of it before the glass was empty but I would still say it is a decent light bee and would be good after moving the lawn.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thin pale head with some lacing, over a golden yellow slightly cloudy body.....nose of yeast....taste is more complex with buckwheat flavor on the finish.....dry and crisp....light mouthfeel, nice carbonation. A pleasant light beer...good for summer.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of biscuit, toasting, light citrus hops, slight grapefruit, and a slight sweetness. Poured gold in color with a large, dense, white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Hazy. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of buckwheat, toasted malts, light citrus hops, water, slight honeysuckle, and some grains. Light to medium body. Creamy, then dry texture. Lightly sweet, buckwheat and citrus hop finish.

This beer poured a light copper color with a nice white head that did not last too long. The aroma was of wheat, yeast, and spice. The flavor was a bit strange to me as it tasted like noodles. The mouthfeel was okay. This was okay, but definitely not something I would seek out.

Pours a hazy blonde with a nice head with moderate lace. Arp,a smells of roasted malt the way a much darker beer would! There is some yeasty baguette bread like aromas. The flavor is mildly citrusy and spicy. It has a grainy flavor that I have come to appriciate in great german lagers, which is once again oddly out of place, but very nice none the less. There is a faint hoppiness. Everything here is pretty well balanced but not terribly exciting.
