Harpoon UFO Hefeweizen in an anomaly - a hefeweizen in marketing only, its actually a good wheat beer.

It pours clear and looks filtered - despite marketing as an unfiltered beer, the folks at Harpoon clearly are appealing to the people who react to the thick, cloudy appearance of with a furrowed brow.

The aroma has banana notes, but not a lot of esters. And despite the use of protein-heavy wheat, the beer pours with very little head.

It tastes like a wheat beer, crisp and clean, with a light flavor and no malty body. While not really a hefeweizen at all, UFO goes down smooth - its actually a good wheat beer - a nice beer for a hot summer BBQ.
