fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Apr 28, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy light honey gold with a 2 finger off white-orange head that has good retentnion. Aroma is citrus, toasted grain, prairie flowers, spice, sweet grain, a little sorghum and hints of miltigrain bread. Flavor is nutty, toasted grain, citrus, sorghum, spice, lots of grass, some fruity notes. Finish is fruity and mildly bitter with some mineral notes. Palate is thin with a sort of foamy feel and a slightly oily finish. Overall this is a decent grainy tasting beer, not something that I would be likely to buy too often though. brewski519 (395), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Apr 19, 2009 Poured a dark, cloudy orange with a foamy head. Aroma of citrus, hops and spice - nice taste of orange with some lemon hints along with hops and some coriander. This beer was a pleasant surprise. thebeertourist (2753), Oslo, Norway Apr 19, 2009 Bottle at Gaijin Bar in Sapporo as Rogue Buckwheat Ale. Dark amber with a minimal head. Spicy and fruity nose. Good spicy flavours, some balancing bitterness. A bit flat. Quite nice. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Apr 13, 2009 Pours hazy gold with translucent white head. Aroma is yeasty and smells like normal Japanese crap. The taste however is a bit of a welcome surprise. Pretty smooth and mellow, slightly hoppy. Lacks the typical carbonated taste common with Japanese macros. Lightly nutty. A good light beer with some unique flavors yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Apr 7, 2009 22 fl oz bottle.

Quite spritzy and a litte herbal note twinges with the biscuit malts and light hop finish. Ok but underwhelming compared with other Rogue offerings Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Mar 28, 2009 Hazy orange-gold pour with a white head. Light fruity aroma, mostly citrus, grapefruit, and some pale malts. Tastes almost like orange juicy. Really smooth and easy to drink. Lots of orange flavor.
