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.
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
