Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale

◎ Aussehen

A pale golden haze dominates the glass, characteristic of the American wheat style. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation rising steadily. Clarity is intentionally turbid, suspended yeast and wheat proteins creating a soft, diffuse appearance.

◌ Aroma

Cascade hops deliver a distinct citrus character—lemon zest and orange peel prominent on the nose. Beneath lies a gentle wheat backdrop with mild spice notes, likely from both the grain bill and yeast fermentation. The overall impression is clean and straightforward, without heavy floral or resinous elements.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and smooth, with wheat providing a light, slightly grainy sweetness. Cascade hops build a gentle citrus note through mid-palate without aggressive bitterness; the IBU count of 18 ensures balance rather than bite. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a clean, dry conclusion that invites another sip.

◑ Abgang

A short to medium finish with lingering citrus notes and a clean, mineral dryness. The aftertaste remains refreshing and uncluttered, leaving no harsh residue.

Serviertemperatur 5–8°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
