I can never pass up a hefeweizen, especially one from rogue that has a grandmother on the front. The have an ingredients list on the side, as well as food parings (fish and spice) and all of it's technical beer specs (spcfc gravity, IBU, etc..)
Head, Smell, Look - Pours a delicious bronze orange, cloudy since it's unfiltered, light, weak head but not in a horrible way. Orange and hops come to the frond, the orange being familiar but hops very interesting.
Taste - This is unique. The hops come up front and the aftertaste is wheat and orange. Spice is slight throughout. This is the first hefe I've had were hops were this prominent.
Rating - 7
This one is very good, especially for being so bold. It's not the delicate, sweet hefe you're used to. Good job Rogue.
My grading scale
It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:
1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)
4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.
8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D
10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.
