Natural raspberry flavors are added to our UFO Hefeweizen to create this beer. Consistent with the Hefeweizen style, this beer is unfiltered and cloudy with a solid foamy head. UFO R.A.Z. has a distinctive, hazy rose color. The scent of fresh raspberries hits the nose immediately, along with a subtle bready aroma from the wheat and yeast. The body is light and the unfiltered yeast provides a soft mouthfeel. The taste of the fruit compliments the beer nicely, neither overwhelms the other. There is a faint sweetness on the palate, which finishes cleanly in a semi-dry, tart finish. - See more at: http://www.harpoonbrewery.com/beer/96/ufo-r-a-z#sthash.ZVHloRZ3.dpuf

Pours hazy copper with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, wheat, raspberries and hint of sourness. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long wheat, grainy, raspberry and hint of popcorn in the finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin., carbonation is soft.

Served in tulip glass from a bottle. Fared a little better as it warmed, but not a great tasting beer. More a fruit beer than a hefe. Orange, white head, quite carbonated. Cloyingly sweet raspberry flavor with tart aftertaste.

Pours a hazy ruby-amber from a bottle with a quickly dissipating minimal head with large bubbles. Reminds me of pouring a coke into a glass or something. Aroma is a rather messy mix of raspberry and the sort of light breadiness of the beer. Flavor is likewise just raspberry on top of an unpleasant piece of toast. Not like a warm childhood memory, more like a "why did they mess with this?". Meh.

Bottle - Nice light raspberry and light wheat. Cloudy gold with a decent thin white head. Raspberry and light grain. Lots of raspberry, but not too exciting.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a hazy orange/brown colored body with a small white head, body is too hazy for any carbonation to be seen. There was no lacing at all.
The smell had tart raspberry with some slight wheat coming in every now and again.
The taste isn’t any different from the smell.
The palate is about a medium with the carbonation felt, sessionable.
Overall, well, I don’t think I’ll have this again, just wasn’t that impressed for me, still good for the style.

Reddish-amber pour with a medium fizzy off-white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of raspberries and malt. Light body with a mildly tart raspberry character and notes of bready malt and earth. The finish is fruity with a tart berry aftertaste. Pretty average fruit beer overall.
