UFO Hefeweizen
An unfiltered, cloudy wheat beer with a soft mouthfeel and light body. Brewed with a northern German ale yeast for a faint citrus-like character, often served with a lemon. Mild, delicate, and clean-finishing — a New England summer staple.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for UFO Hefeweizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
