ABOUT THIS STYLE
We have added natural raspberry flavor to our UFO Hefeweizen to create this beer. Consistent with the hefeweizen style, this beer is unfiltered and cloudy with a solid foamy head. 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. The taste of the fruit compliments the beer nicely, neither overwhelms the other. There is a faint sweetness on the palate, which finishes cleanly in a semi-dry, tart finish.

Hefeweizens originated in Bavaria and date back over 400 years. Hefe means yeast in German, Weizen means wheat. The unfiltered yeast remains in suspension, giving this style its signature cloudy color and a soft mouthfeel.

BEER CHARACTER
UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen is Harpoon’s interpretation of the European practice of adding fruit flavors to wheat beers. It is an enjoyable marriage of beer and fruit flavors. After you have poured half the beer into a tall wheat beer glass, swirl the bottle three times to combine the yeast that may have settled to the bottom. Pour the remaining beer into the glass to create a generous, foamy head.

The overall character is a cloudy rose color, fresh raspberry aroma, and fruity flavor balanced by UFO’s clean, wheat beer taste.
