Hefeweizen Unfiltered Wheat, UFO Hefeweizen, Raspberry Beer

• From the maker

  Harpoon's unfiltered offering. This recipe is our own interpretation of the European practice of adding fruit... flavors to wheat beers. We have added natural raspberry flavor to our UFO Hefeweizen to give it a delicate fruit flavor and slight sweetness. The raspberry juice adds a rich color to the cloudy, unfiltered beer, yielding a soft reddish hue. The scent of the berries mixes with lightly hopped beer aroma. The raspberries are balanced by UFO Hefeweizen clean, wheat beer taste, making this beer enjoyable and refreshing. Cheers. Hefeweizens originated in Bavaria and date back over 400 years. hefe means yeast in German, weizen means wheat. Brewed with wheat malt, these beers tend to be refreshing and lightbodied with a slightly fruity aroma. The unfiltered yeast remains in suspension, giving this style its signature cloudy appearance and soft mouthfeel.

  I love regular UFO, and I love raspberries. I do not love Raspberry UFO. The raspberry was way too tart for me - it made the beer feel very vinegary on the tongue. I like most fruit beers that I've had - I think this is the first one where the fruit was just too overwhelming in an unappetizing way.

  I love unfiltered wheat beers. I enjoy raspberries. Good combo? NO! It's not an over the top sweet beer, but the flavor is wildly artificial. Also it is a pink color. Beer shouldn't be pink as this was. Skip the artificial flavors, and go with a regular Harpoon UFO with a big slice of lemon if you're wanting something slightly fruity.

  Yelp hooked me up with this beer last night at the Yelp Elite Event. Despite the fact that everything free tastes good to me, I wasn't a huge fan of this beer. I'm sort of particular about fruit beers... I like the taste to be more subtle and less overpowering and this beer pulled a complete Coup d'�tat on my tastebuds. At first, the cold beer hit my lips quite nicely until i had a big swig in my mouth. At this point the fruit flavor hit me a bit too hard and became too sickly sweet for my liking and the aftertaste, well, it felt bitter, tangy, and unpleasing. Perhaps raspberry just isn't a taste I like in a beer, because Seadog Blueberry Wheat hits me just fine. Raspberry UFO though... well... it just masked the wheat taste way too much for fancy.

  Raspberry Hefeweizen is a delicious, light refreshing beer that isn't overly sweet or fruity like many fruit beers. There is only a dry hint of raspberry, so you don't feel like you fell into the back of a raspberry truck. Both men and women alike enjoy this fine brew.

    Does this taste like Sam Adams Cherry Wheat?

    Personally I liked it better than Sam's Cherry Wheat. I can only have one or two Cherry Wheat's before it becomes too sweet for me and I need to switch to soemthing else. I was sad the other night when we ran out of the Rasberry UFO before I got to beer 3 because I was ready to keep putting them back.

  Not a bad beer in its own right, but if you want a fruit flavored beer Sam Adam's cherry wheat is much better.
