| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2009 Bomber. Pale malt and something somewhere around wheat. Just a nice, rich, fat malt profile. Pours golden-amber with nice rocky beige head, nice patches left on the glass. Light body, still has rich malt, goes along swimmingly. Not terribly dry or bitter, somewhere in the middle of the road. Very light hops. This is a sort of super fantastic golden ale. Very soft water, soft keller-y aftertaste. Bright with a hint of must. Really liked it! bitbucket (2030), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2009 12oz bottled as Rogue Buckwheat Ale. Pours hazy dark gold with a lacy white head. Taste and aroma is somewhat like a caramel and rye-infused cream ale. Bitterness seems lower than the claimed 30 IBUs. ChainGangGuy (2549), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2009 22 ounce bomber - $4.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a lightly hazed copper body with a frothy, foamy, white head.
Smell: Fragrant, delicate nose of fresh flowers, honey-dipped biscuits, fruit, as well as nuts and spice.
Taste: Lightly sweet clover honey stirred up with some crumbled dry biscuits. Curious touch of berry-like fruitiness amidst hints of dried lemon peel and coriander. Small hint of nuts. Floral, spicy hop character with a modest amount of imparted bitterness present. Finishes dry with some lasting honeyish and floral qualities.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Worth at least one try, I’d say. A subtle, pleasant brew simply eager to be paired with a meal of some sorts, say, a plate of trout almondine. WVHouseofBeer (362), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 14, 2009 Nice aroma of biscuits and honey, with a small fluffy white head. Little bit of a roasted nut taste to it, with something else as well, I guess the buckwheat? Overall, this was a solid and a unique brew. LC Nejhleader (928), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 12, 2009 has a grassy aroma, basically tasted like an average pilsner bit of a grassy taste. Rciesla (3590), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
