Goose Island 312 Urban Pale Ale

Received this from a beer buddy the other day, and although I usually like what Goose Island puts out, I'm a bit underwhelmed with this offering. Not that it's a bad beer, but it just doesn't have that unique zip that Goose Island brews usually bring to the table. It pours an amber-orange with a scanty white head, with some medium intensity hop bitterness. There's some floral notes and some biscuity sweetness as well. Not sure how much wheat is in the mix, but there seems to be some wheatiness in there, and a bit of grapefruit in the hops. I wouldn't turn it down, but I doubt I'll be seeking it out
