Commercial Description:
UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen 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 the lightly hopped beer aroma. The raspberries are balanced by UFO Hefeweizen’s clean, wheat beer taste, making this beer enjoyable and refreshing.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2007. An unclear orange-red beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of raspberries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of raspberries with a slightly artificial touch. It has a slight underlying acidity, is it the raspberries or the wheat I don’t know. The body is thin. Too much raspberry for me.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. (4.8%) Cloudy reddish amber. Aroma of tart raspberries mixed with bubblegum. Sweet and estery with fairly light body and short flavour. Like always any attempt to mix hefeweizen with fruit is doomed.

Bottled. Murky red/orange colour with big creamy white head. Raspberry and slight wheat all the way through the beer. Some mild hoppyness comes along in the finish.
