UFO Raspberry has a distinctive, hazy rose color. The scent of fresh raspberries hits the nose immediately, along with a subtle bready aroma from the wheat and yeast. The body is light and the unfiltered yeast provides a soft mouthfeel. It's a Belgian witbier with 4.8 ABV, spiced with orange peel and coriander. The taste of the fruit compliments the beer nicely, neither overwhelms the other. Crisp and light-bodied, this brew has a refreshing taste that turns it into a thirst-quenching drink. The orange peel lends this UFO beer zesty notes, with the coriander providing aromatic hints. There is a faint sweetness on the palate, which finishes cleanly in a semi-dry, tart finish. Harpoon Brewery – UFO (UnFiltered Offering) Raspberry Hefeweizen – 12 oz. UFO Beer Company was created to push the boundaries of what a craft beer could look and taste like. Light, crisp, refreshing UFO White follows in the tradition of spiced wheat. Purchased as part of a Harpoon Sampler pack at Dawson’s Liquor – Severna Park, MD.Īppearance: Cloudy pinkish-orange (looks like fresh-squeezed pink grapefruit juice). Harpoon - UFO White (12 pack 12oz cans)Hazy yet light, citrusy yet smooth, UFO White embodies. A good amount of fizzy, white head (tinged slightly pink by the light passing up through the beer underneath) which dissipates quickly.Īroma: Raspberry and lemons (the extra acidity from the raspberries brings out the citrus moreso than in the regular hefe). Taste: Tart raspberries flood your mouth at first, but give way to a slight sweetness in the middle. Finishes dry with lemon zest lingering on your teeth. Mouthfeel: A slightly thicker mouthfeel than the hefe at first, but finishes just as clean and is just as highly carbonated. Overall: Again, this is a hefe I can finally recommend. Real pumpkin, seasonal spices, and fresh-from-the-patch flavor. It will satisfy those who like fruitier beers, yet has enough character that a drinker of heavier beers shouldn’t turn his/her nose up at it on a hot summer day.
