Commercial Description:
An American Wheat Beer brewed with red wheat and boat loads of amarillo hops gives this summer brew a lemony finish. The slight haze in the bottle is from the bottle-conditioning, where yeast is added to the bottle for a secondary fermentation. Gumballhead is a Skingraft Comics hero.

Golden in color with a small head. Aroma is of citrus, hops, wheat and some grass. Taste is of grass and grapefruit with a moderate hop bitterness.

Appearance: has some red tones from the red wheat; otherwise a light orange, almost golden; pretty clear slight haze like they say; however, loses points for very little head Aroma: very enjoyable; has a slight rye presence to go along with fruity wheat; gumballs are not out of the question; the amarillo hops seem to show a light American citrus feel but not too present Flavor: Frankly, it’s delicious! Wheat and rye nicely blended; light malty sweetness provides just enough of a presence; Mouthfeel: medium body; high carbonation; average texture; above average finish

On tap at Chumley’s Clear yellow amber in my glass. Smells like citrusy hops, not very wheaty, but great. The flavor is very hoppy, balanced with malt, and there might be some wheat in there, I can’t really tell, but I like it anyway. The mouthfeel is thin and refreshing. I like the fact that this isn’t very high in alcohol. This is a good ’un.

bottle as an extra BA trade. Pours clear copper with thin white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus and light grains. Taste, hoppy with light citrus / grapefruit notes and palate, wheat. Not a strong beer, but overly enjoyable and complex. Finish leaves a bitter and nice silky touch on the palate.

Hazy yellow-orange pour with a white head. Aroma of yeast, hops, and citrus. Nice flavor of hops upfront with sweet malt finish.

12 oz bottle. Very dry and hoppy for my taste. The drink was not refreshing at all, especially for what was once a "summer brew". Aroma was similar to the taste.

Bottle from Archer Liquors. Poured a clear orange gold color with a decent fine white head. Nice grapefruit aroma. Surprising. Near medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is distinctly hoppy. Beautiful, except for a certain graininess between sips. Just an excellent weizen!
