UFO SERIES – Harpoon announces new flavor

April fools week is always a crazy week. Harpoon spilled the beans that they might be releasing a new beer in the UFO series and Flying dog announced that they were coming out with a series of beers that were under 3% (Canis Minor – AKA Little dog). Flying dog listed some beers that were .9% to 3% alcohol. Wow! .9% alcohol how is that possible?

Well, Flying Dog’s announcement was a hoax (A good hoax – I’ll post it later. It’s a good one). It seems like Harpoon’s announcement was for real. I guessed that it might be a blueberry or a pomegranate, but it’s not. It’s a white.

Ok. Interesting selection. Watch out coors!! Here comes Harpoon. How will it compare? Will the Harpoon White be better? Give them an try and let us know.

Here’s some information about the Harpoon White:

Light, crisp, refreshing UFO White follows in the tradition of spiced wheat beers that have been brewed in Belgium for well over 300 years. Brewed with orange peel and a unique blend of spices, UFO White is the perfect choice for a summer’s barbecue, a night out with friends or any time you¹re thirsting for something a little different. Enjoy it with a slice of orange. Like UFO Hefeweizen and UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen, we leave UFO White UnFiltered for a more natural taste and appearance. We hope you enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoy making it!

A PEAK AT WHAT TO EXPECT
