| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Bottle. Light gold in color with lots of carbonation. Small white head. Aroma is grassy and hops. creamy palate. Flavor is more hop than wheat. I’m not a big fan of wheat beers but I like this one. They didn’t go overboard on the wheat.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Pours a cloudy light gold in color. About a half inch of head on the pour, but it’s quickly gone. Smell is spicy, but off slightly. Taste is hoppy, but rather BMC’ish. Highly carbonated in the mouthfeel. Refreshing, but not good enough to warrant another purchase. PolakPorter (83), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 25, 2008 I really want to like this beer, unfortunately it’s a rare miss from Goose. Color is pale straw and transparent, similar to macro-crap. Taste is slightly wheaty and very light. Very very light. When it’s hot and the 312 is cold, it’s quite refreshing. However, so is just about anything. I’d have to say, stick to the other Goose Island brews. aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Different than what i was expecting. Very citrusy with a nice after taste. Overall is very refreshing and easy to drink. Goes well with a nice meal at a pub. omhper (12247), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Cloudy yellow, airy head. Citric nose. Medium dry with light body and rounded mouthfeel. Streamlined but quenching, and with a pleasant citric twist. No bitterness. A good beer in a pointless style. shalloWMeans (160), Independence, Kentucky, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Updated: Aug 30, 2008A unique wheat ale that is highly quaffable, delicious and not overly complex. It is very crisp and refreshing. Though lacking in any real hop presence, it is full of sweet malt with hints of corn and sweet potato, and delivers an appetizing semi-sweet bright finish. 312 seems to carry a somewhat German hefe-weizen influence, but is mainly American in style, and is one of Goose Island’s most popular draft beers. It is a bright, hazy, sunny blonde ale with a bit of sediment and a huge, attractive, fluffy white head. There are doughy, breadlike malt and wheat aromas with fresh pineapple and cloves. Crisp and sharp on the palate, this urban wheat ale refreshes and stimulates, making it an obvious choice for summer evenings.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2008 Golden pour with fizzy white head. The aroma is...um, risking sounding like my wife..."it smells like beer". The taste is mild wheat with refreshing citrus (orange and a touch of lemon) presence and tinges of floral. This really improved as it warmed. Light and refreshing. The only complaint is that the wheat presence was light. High carbonation, but this still goes down easy. A very fine summer drinking beer. I thought it was pretty good.
