"It better be good..." I grundged to myself while buying this beer - it was devilishly expensive for a beer imported from Oregon (no, it is not Japanese!). Morimoto is a Japanese surname and soba are, as far as I can tell, Japanese noodles. The blurb on the back says "The delicate flavor of our roasted Soba brings a nutty finish to this light and refreshing ale." The taste is very strange, but good. If you ask me, it reminds me of apples, rather than nuts. Like Hoegaarden mixed with a bit of water and apple juice and some groovy after-taste. All in all a balanced taste, but not sure if I wouldn't get bored of it after a while. Might try it again!
