312 pours light yellow and wears a pearly white crown that slowly melts down the side of the glass. Lemony and acidic with playful sweetness, the aroma is not just pleasant, but perfect for the style. The first sip brings a rush of tart, wheat grain sweetness bolstered by a sturdy barley foundation. Beneath the sweet grains, a slow current of hops begins to surge, nudging pepper spice and bitterness through the swallow. 312 has all of the trappings of a well-made wheat beer, from its medium-light body and palate cleansing carbonation to its clean, dry finish.
