Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale. Brewed and canned by Goose Island Beer Company, Baldwinsville, NY, and Fort Collins, CO. {Sigh. Whatever happened to Chicago, IL?} 5.4% Alc/Vol. IBU 30. Contains: Wheat. 16 oz. can.
Appearance: clear, bright golden hue, beautiful, big white head, leaving lace.
Aroma: bright floral and spicy hop notes, citrus, too, orange and lemon and lime.
Taste: There it is, on the tongue, all the hops you want in a pale ale. A fresh slice of citrus in an easy-drinking, refreshing ale. Lean-bodied, clean, zesty, and just a little bit sweet…if a trifle simple. Yeah, it is what it is, …it's easy to drink with a likable flavor, but there's not much more going on.
I picked this up because it was only $4.99 for a 4-pack of 16 ounce cans. I probably wouldn't have forked over $8 or more for a 6-pack of 12 ounce bottles. I'd have waited for a deal on it. I'm not writing back home to mama about this one. But it's an alright beer, and you can, in fact, drink it.
Gobbledygook: "We are from the city that invented the skyscraper. We constructed our Urban Pale Ale on a balanced malt backbone, so the citrus hop aroma and crisp flavor can stand tall."
