Morimoto Soba Ale
1 Apr
Name - Morimoto Soba Ale
Country - United States
Type - Fruit/Vegetable Beer
Appearance - Poured a slightly hazy copper color with a nice sized white head.
Smell - Big smell of something I have never really smelt before. I assume it is the buckwheat as per the description. Some slightly sweet malts could be picked up as well.
Taste - The taste also had something I never tasted before and again I’m going to think it is the buckwheat. It was like a very dry bread. Some mild hops and spices could also be picked up.
Being one not to shy away from different beers I decided to give this one a try from Rogue in their Chef Morimoto series. The smell and taste of the buckwheat was indeed different. I definitely wouldn’t say that this was disappointing like the Chipotle Ale but it was not incredibly pleasing either. I guess different tastes for different faces.
Overall Grade – D+
