Brewmasters Notes: 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. This gives 312 a balance of flavor and refreshment that never fills you up and won’t let you down.

The 411 on the 312: This is always a beer that I have drank as a chaser. Consequently, I've totally missed out on the subtleties of this beer. It has a slight lemon flavor that is reminiscent of a shandy. Very refreshing, even on a day when the walk to Bob's had me chilled to the bone.
Grade: B+
Wheat beer don't usually get me all that excited but I had this a couple years ago when I was in Chicago and I'd have to agree with you. Pretty refreshing and more going taste-wise on than the average bland wheat beer.
