The new colors and fonts, for example, are brighter, friendlier, and fun-er, conveying the flavorful, refreshing, unfiltered wheat beer goodness you can/should expect when you drink a UFO beer. Each element of the package is meant to provide subtle cues about the beer inside. It is designed to better communicate what UFO is all about. Even American breweries are making better wits, such as Victory's Whirlwind, or Avery's White Rascal, or New Belgium's amazing (and sadly discontinued) Fat Tire Belgian White.The refreshed new UFO look was a collaborative effort between the Brewery’s in-house design team and Boston-based brand strategy firm, Catapult Thinking. A lot of people say UFO is a better Blue Moon, and it very well may be, but UFO doesn't hold a candle to witbiers from La Trappe or Unibroue or St. If someone hands me one, I'll gladly drink it, but I won't be buying it again as there are a lot of better options. Mouthfeel is fine, if lacking the effervescence I expect from Belgian witbiers. Taking a sip of UFO, and the flavours just line up and announce themselves like roll call - wheat, here orange, here coriander, here. Taking a sip of Unibroue, the flavours mingle and dance across your toungue.
