I picked up a few of the different flavor UFOs. I love the original. Pretty good. Good blueberry aroma. Hazy and pale. Doesn't taste artificial. Perfect summer day brew if your into these sort of beers.

Poured from a 12 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Clear light golden pour with 2 fingers of fizzy white head. Falls fast... modest lacing.
S: Smells fruity... blueberry and lemon zest. Mild grains.
T.F: Light grains/wheat. Blueberry syrup... somewhat cloying. Modest sweetness... a little lemon at the back of the swig. Something unnamed and unpleasant mid sip. Sticky on the mouth. Zippy carbonation.
O: Was not a fan... some off flavors that aren't working and the blueberry is a bit cloying. Not one I'd pick up again.

Cold, wet and refreshing, but nothing special. It tastes like a cheap Americxcan wheat beer whose shortcomings are only partially obscured but the added fruity flavors. I won't be having another.

12 oz can at the 2018 Soulshine Music Festival.
Hazy pale amber body with a good white head.
Wheat, lemon and blueberries play well together in this refreshing ale.
Nice fruity aroma.

Honestly was pretty excited about this one. Blueberry and Lemonade are a great combination but maybe not in beer. The smell is indeed a mix of blueberry with an almost frozen lemonade mixed in. Taste was left to be desired. It goes down smoothly though and not much of an aftertaste. Still glad to have tried it out, but will likely stay away from this one in the future.

Cloudy dark gold color. Good starting head but it fades to rim bubbles and leaves some random streaks on the glass.
I love the smell and also will struggle to describe it. It's not lemony but it does remind me of the smell of frozen lemonade. I also think I pick up the smell of unsweetened frozen blueberries, but then again, I may be projecting.
The flavor reminds me of a lemon/raspberry sorbet. It leans more sweet than tart. It's refreshing but sweet like a sodapop with enough tartness to prevent it from becoming cloy. There's no wheat in the taste. It is what it is but will certainly not excite purists.
