Harpoon Brewery's UFO Hefeweizen

Always look forward to a new wheat, even with the cheesy UnFiltered Offering half-ass acronym.

Pours hazy and yellow, with a huge white head that isn't too crisp because it's unfiltered. It develops huge cells before fading to a collar, with slow carbonation.

Light and zippy smell like a wheat should have. More yeasty than malty, due to the lack of filtration. So far, I'm looking forward to it.

A bit sweet, and it's not as zippy as I'd like because it's not filtered, but that adds to the body. Although I prefer zippy to body in a wheat, this is very good for an unfiltered, which would be expected to add to the body and slow the feel a bit. Very light bitterness that fades fast. Clean aftertaste, without being too dry.

Great summer beer. Probably my favorite Harpoon so far.
