Soba Beer at Curry Ya

The other night, I was invited to a friends and family meal at Curry-Ya in the east village.
(Right next to the famous Rai Rai Ken ramen shop)
Mr. Yagi is at it again. This time he is attempting to take on NYC with Japanese style curry.

There, I tried a Soba Beer brewed by the guys at Rogue Breweries.
I wasn't a fan of the beer. It didn't have much character and the soba essence was not very pronounced.

Here are some websites rating this beer... (the picture I have is a Private Label)
