Our Tastes-- Harpoon UFO
Harpoon UFO is an American wheat. I haven't tried too many of the Harpoon beers but I just recently bought a sampler so I can see what else is out there. I have read about this brewery and the 100 barrel series that they make in Ale Street News and wanted to give some of their brews a try. This one is particularly nice. It has a great citrus aroma and although it poured with a heavy head has no foam legs. The color is the usual golden cloudy of most wheats. Not too shabby, I actually think I like it better than Sam Adams' Hefeweizen. I should try some of these wheats with a lemon or orange slice but most of that is for visual appeal. It's been brewed since 1998with abv 4.8%.
