Harpoon UFO White if you want approachable and clean,
Wittekerke if you want Belgian funk and spice.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and bitterness, so this is really about flavor direction. UFO leans American-witbier straightforward; Wittekerke brings the old-world Belgian character. Same style, different philosophies.

Harpoon UFO White
UFO White hits you with bright orange peel and a whisper of coriander right up front—very linear, very refreshing. The wheat base is soft and creamy without being heavy, and it finishes almost too clean, like someone wiped your palate with a cloth. It's the witbier that doesn't ask much of you, just hands you a good time.
Wittekerke
Wittekerke opens with a spicy, slightly peppery nose that immediately feels more complex. There's a subtle yeasty undertone—almost a hint of banana or clove—that makes you pause and pay attention. The body feels slightly rounder than UFO, with a gentle warmth that lingers longer. This is a witbier that wants a conversation.
