It was released on April 8, 2009, and will only be available till September.
With a lingering spice character and a subtly sweet finish, UFO White is light on the palate and exceedingly refreshing – an ideal beer for the warm months of spring and summer.
UFO White is brewed in the tradition of spiced wheat beers that originated in Belgium more than 300 years ago. Staying true to the style, Harpoon brewers added freshly ground orange peel and coriander to the whirlpool to give the beer a slightly sweet, delicately spiced flavor and aroma. The coriander is nutty and earthy with citrus notes that play well with the orange peel – a natural pair.

HOPS
A combination of Pale, Wheat, and Carapils malts provides a slightly sweet, bready malt body with subtle spice and yeast notes, adding complexity to the beer.
MALTS
An addition of Apollo hops was added to balance some of the sweetness. The beer remains unfiltered, which highlights the Harpoon house yeast’s distinctive fruity esters.
