| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2009 Bottle (As Buckwheat Ale). Pours clear gold with a short lasting white head. Aroma is kinda strange: mainly grain and a bit of honey but with some subtle undertones of bubblegum, cough syrup and spice. Flavour is also fairly grainy with hints of citrus, almonds and biscuity malt. Though there is a noticeable hop presence, it is very slight compared to a lot of Rogue ales. Light to medium body with a slightly bitter finish that lingers for a while. Not the best from Rogue but drinkable nonetheless. Leighton (265), New York, New York, USA

Poured a hazy, pale gold with a foamy off-white head. Nose of roasted malts with nutty notes. Flavor was creamy, buttery, with - what I thought tasted like - flourishes of sour cream and onion. As I said: interesting. Chewy, smooth. Rich finish. Not bad.
