The color is a dark amber. The head retains well and leaves light lacing.
Caramel and brown sugar mingle with citrus hops on the nose.
There's an interesting balance between malt and hops; neither overpowers the other. Caramel and toasted flavors of pure malt mix with hops bitterness. This is the first time I've witnessed this strength of play in a beer. First the malt dominates, then the hops come in just as strong. Hops bitterness and roasty sweetness linger in the finish.
This brew is medium-bodied with moderate carbonation.
This is definitely one to try and pretty sessionable.

4.11/5 rDev +6.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Amber woody color with a nice thick off-white head with good retention.
Relatively light aroma (for a Rogue) but with a nice smell of citrus, pine and flowers and sweet bready malt.
Flavor is bolder, nice bitterness balanced by a semi-sweet citric taste. Spicy and strong orange notes.
Dry, bitter and citric aftertaste.
Light to medium body with good carbonation.
I could drink this all day. Very balanced and not extreme (which is good for a change) and still not dull.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

A: The beer is relatively clear light amber in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a finger high dense off white head that died down, consistently leaving a thin head covering the surface and some lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of caramel malts are present in the nose along with hints of citrusy and floral hops.
T: The taste is similar to the smell except that notes of orange citrus are more prominent and there are hints of grassy hops. It has a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels nearly medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is rather easy to drink because it isn't as malty compared to some of the other beers in the style.
