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.

12 oz bottle of shit. I am not a big fan of fruit beers to begin with. Pours a orange red with a super sweet aroma. Very fruity of rasberry. Pretty much what I expected.

Tap at Piecasso in Stowe, VT. Pours a beautiful cloudy ruby color. Nice creamy head. Aroma is pure raspberries with malt and bread. Taste is tart raspberries, some grain and yeasty flavors. Ok beer here.

Bottle picked up at Westholme Londis Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon, consumed 10-08-08 Poured a light hazy pink with large head quite lovely raspberry aroma although it seemed maybe a little artificial I must confess to still being dragged in by it. Taste was simple, raspberry, little too sweet, some wheat uncomplicated and maybe not true to style but likeable nonetheless

A refreshing and quite drinkable raspberry wheat beer. Definitely nothing special, but it tastes pretty good on a hot summer day.
