Sunday…in October. Football, mountain biking, beer drinking…is there anything else? Funny thing happened to me as I was drinking today’s beer. I was outside lubing and cleaning my bike when I went to take another sip of beer. I looked into my glass and there was a bee. Apparently he was thirsty. I had only had half of the beer at that point and the rest, with the bee, went flying onto the lawn. So what was the beer the bee decided to share with me?
Beer #329 is UFO by Harpoon Brewery from Massachusetts. Brewed in a little town you may have heard of, Boston, this American Pale Wheat Ale (at least that is how BeerAdvocate classifies it even know it says Hefeweizen on it) has an ABV of 5.1%
Appearance – Cloudy pale yellow or gold with a decent white head.
Nose – Kind of faint smelling with a bit of citrus and maybe a bit of that wheat smell.
Taste – A bit of banana with a lemon citrus flavor and that was about it…pretty simplistic.
Mouthfeel – The body rested between light and medium. There was quite a bit of tight, prickly carbonation. It had kind of a crispness to it.
Overall – Bleh…nothing to see here…move along. I hope the bee enjoyed this more than I did.
