Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale

20160825:
This beer was a bit warm (purchased and left in the open air for between 30 minutes and an hour). There was a slight bitterness.


The beer might have tasted better if it were colder, because then it'd have been less bitter. Otherwise, the beer reminded me most of a Natty Boh. However, as it stands, I'd certainly rather have a cold Natty Boh than this partially cold can of Goose Island 312.

BREWER'S NOTES
Inspired by the city of Chicago and densely populated with flavor, 312’s spicy aroma of Cascade hops is followed by a crisp, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body that's immensely refreshing.
