Harpoon UFO White if you want bright, approachable citrus wheat,
Wittekerke if you want spiced complexity and a Belgian kick.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, but they're chasing different moods. UFO leans American—clean, refreshing, lets the wheat shine. Wittekerke brings Old World coriander and orange peel that actually *taste* deliberate, not just present.

Harpoon UFO White
UFO White hits you with this immediate wheaty softness—like drinking a cloud made of grain. There's a whisper of citrus zest and subtle banana from the yeast, but nothing intrusive. It's the kind of beer that disappears on a hot day because you're too busy enjoying it to think about it. Clean finish, no lingering spice or funk.
Wittekerke
Wittekerke has *character* from the first sip—those spices aren't background noise, they're the whole conversation. Coriander and dried orange peel come through with a slightly peppery warmth, and there's a touch of herbal dryness that Belgian brewers have nailed for centuries. Slightly richer mouthfeel, more substance without being heavy.
