(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a deep golden yellow body with a faint hazy to it and a snow white head that fades after a bit. There is a nice gentle carbonation of tiny bubbles.
S- The smell of light toasted malt has a nutty quality that is nice. The finish is a dry green hop note that balances the malt aromas.
T- The light toasted malt is mixed with dry pale malt flavors with a earthy taste of buckwheat pancakes. There is a slight sweetness to the green citrus hop finish. There is also a tonic water flavor with the hops after the finish but it is light and cleans up the faint sweetness.
M- This beer has a medium-light mouthfeel with a slight carbonic bite in the finish but it is very light.
D- This beer is nice and crisp and refreshing. The taste is intriguing with the soba noodles and it would be nice to see that flavor brought out even more.

Brewed with buckwheat, this beer is a nice example of beer with plenty of cereal notes, both in smell as taste.
It has a turbid orange color and a beige foam that leves a nice lace.
It looks, smells and tastes like a typical american ale. It's hoppy and malty, cereal and grainy notes are definitly the highlights in this beer. Fruity character is quite small, as well as yeasty notes. It's still possible to taste and smell citrus, wheat and bread notes.
Feel is nice, it has a somewhat light body with appropriate carbonation. Aftertaste is a bit dry and definitely bitter.

Amber color with a beige two finger head with good retention.
Light aroma with notes of oranges, bread, maybe almonds and malt sweetness.
Flavor with notes of orange-lemon citrusy, wheat, a bit of pine, flowers and spices, mildly nutty, honey, rogue yeast and finishing with a subtle toasted. If you try hard, you can swear this tastes like real noodles (you can identify this as nuts as well). Dry aftertaste with a bordering medium bitterness.
Light body with appropriate carbonation.
Pleasant and super easy to drink thirst quencher. Not boring given the noddle twist and Rogues related notes. Perfect for hot days or eating with noodles or Asian food.

Pours clear and slightly orange with a pleasing buckwheat nose, reminiscent of Japanese soba noodles. Very small head and a little lacing. There is a some fruit on the nose, with a sweet aroma. The finish is fairly short with a well balanced bitter, sweet and sour smack.

I poured this beer from a 12oz bottle, it has a light orange color body with a small head. The smell has has a light wheat aroma. The taste has a little spice upfront then the wheat to play on the back of the tongue. The mouthfeel is smooth and is a easy drinking beer.
