Harpoon UFO Hefeweizen pours a hazy yellow with a creamy persistent head. The aroma is of bananas and cream, sweetness like a banana candy or syrup, and a mild lemony citrus smell. The palate opens with light creamy banana, and follows immediately with a mild citrusy lemon flavor. Where the banana is dominant in the aroma, the lemony malt dominates the flavor. The beer is well carbonated, which contributes to its mouth feel. A mild tartness completes the palate.
I’m not a big fan of wheat beers. UFO is no exception, though I find it to be milder and thus more tolerable than other hefeweizens. I just don’t like the banana or lemon flavors.

I’m sorry you don’t like one of our highest selling beers. I wish you had a better explanation other than that you “just don’t like [it].”
It seems as a beer expert, you would be able to be a little more specific. And, as an internet expert, you should probably know that this is wilson. I bet if someone here at Harpoon tried your beer, we wouldn’t like it either!

Comment by Mark 28 August 2008 @ 10:15 pmI gotta try the Raspberry UFO. Is it sold in NC? In the triad area?
Mark,
Are lessons on internet sarcasm literacy sold in the triad area? If so, I suggest you buy some.
Also: all raspberry beer tastes like an amateur home brewer’s worst beer ever. Even the raspberry beer we brew here at Harpoon is awful. I suggest you avoid it the same way you have so steadfastly avoided book-learning.
