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.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy gold color with a thin white head. Aroma of grapefruit and floral hops. Flavor was grapefruit and wheat up front, with a grassy hop finish. Medium body with good carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel. Great beer.

Not sure how this can rate under 3.2-3.5 Strange wheat beer and the final flavor that hits you is an eye opener. Cloudy amber-yellow, hops, wheat, citrus. Enjoy....

Beers pours from the bottle a clear golden color with a thick bleach white head which dissipates quickly. A heavy citrus and floral hop aroma hits the nose as soon as the bottle is opened up. Flavor is grassy mixed with wheat at the start but finishes with an awesome grapefruit flavor at the end of the tasting. A good and unique beer. As it warms, the citrus flavor really comes out and really shines.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a dull clear orange with receding head. Aroma is very sweet hops and malts. Flavor is also very sweet, not a whole lot there. Lacing is not present. Not my favorite FFF but still a drinkable brew, better if it was a hot summer day. Better than a 2.9

This is a very light, clear, clean straw color with golden hues. The carbonation helps to maintain the head for some time. It has a great floral hop aroma similar to other FFF beers. There is a perfumy floral taste that pervails but doesn’t dominate. Also some citrus hops are present and a bit of sweetness. This is a great tasting beer and tastes more like an IPA than a wheat, but I like it just the same.

Normally I’m not a fan of grapefruit, but the zinger on the tail end of the taste is a nice change of pace.

Not what you’d expect in a wheat beer. I’m not a big fan of any pine-taste in my beer and this one had a subtle pine flavor. Also, more carbonation than I’d prefer. Some sweetness mixed with some bitterness. Overall, it’s a slightly above average experience but with so many people raving about Gumballhead - I was disappointed.

From bottle. Poured a lightly cloudy golden-yellow. Big start to this ale but finishes thinner than expected considering the maker. Lighter hoppiness than other FFF but a good end-of-summer beer.
