Harpoon UFO White

"Light, crisp, refreshing UFO White follows in the tradition of spiced wheat beers that have been brewed in Belgium for well over 300 years. Brewed with orange peel and a unique blend of spices, UFO White is the perfect choice for a summer’s barbecue, a night out with friends or any time you¹re thirsting for something a little different."

In my unending quest for the perfect Belgian Wit, I came across this offering from Harpoon at the grocery one day and decided to give it a try. There is a broad spectrum of beers within this category, and this one seems to fall on the floral and fruity end of the spectrum rather than the spicy and yeasty side. I should have known by the orange slice on the label which one this was- floral and fruity. I found it similar to some of the American wheats I've had recently. Clearly refreshing with that bright punch that seems to be present in all wheat beers, but alas my quest continues as I prefer the spicier, yeastier versions. Next wit: a collaboration between Grand Ivey Brewing Co. and the Lousy Buckle head brewmaster.
