BJCP Category?


Aroma: (10/12) 
A very slight citrus nose. I kept searching for more characteristics,
but couldn't come up with any.

Appearance: (3/3)
A very nice dark copper/red hue. Pours a half-finger head from
the tap.  The head persists pretty well.

Flavor: (16/20)
A definite red ale. The hops are there upfront, but nothing
overpowering at all. The initial bite fades quickly. I wonder
if there is rye in here, because the finish is pretty dry.
Slight fruity interludes.

Mouthfeel: (4/5)

Body is fairly light, but does have a malty backbone after the hops.

Maybe a tad soapy or slick.

Overall Impression: (8/10)
This Rogue is a nice offering. The possible rye in here has added
a nice peppery and dry finish. It doesn't stand out from others,
but is very sessionable.  Solid.

TOTAL: 41/50
