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.

Cloudy peach color with white head. Rasberry aroma. Dry raspberry taste with slight taste of wheat and sweet finish. A fruit beer done right.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear orange with a tiny, bubbly off-white head. Extremely intense but also artificial raspberry aroma. Light body, heavy carbonation, dry and artificial raspberry notes. Finishes dry. 281108

Pours pinkish amber with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of raspberry, sweet fruits, berries. Taste is thin, sweet, light wheat and berry notes. Thin bodied, fizzy carbonation. Underwhelming, as expected.

Bottle. Pours an amber orange body with an off white head. Sweet sugar raspberries, very wheaty, and artifical tasting. Eh simple and plain extract brewing.

Bottle at GBBF08. Distinct raspberry aroma and flavour. Thin body. Clear amber colour. Hefeweizen? No way. Refreshing but thin.

Actually reminds me of my first fruit homebrew! But that’s not really a complement. Pours a translucent hazy amber copper with no head, looks like apple cider. Aroma is quite pleasant, raspberries, wheat. Flavor is pugnetly raspberry, but nice. Fair for a change of pace, but not much else. Rerate: Color is a hazy rose with fair head. Tart Raspberry finish. But still nothing overly special, except when mixed with their new chocolate winter beer.
