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. Check out Skingraft Comics and Records at <a href=http://www.skingraftrecords.com>SkingraftRecords.com. Cheers!

Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours hazy gold. Great hop and lemon flavors. The red wheat taste is a lot more subtle then a lot of wheat beers that just aren’t my thing. This one is, by far my favorite wheat to date!!

Bonus bottle from StFun. Thanks Josh!. I love wheat beers. Gumballhead is super easy to drink. Some skunk in the aroma. I’m not sure if it was light struck or it uses Saaz hops. Nice crisp hop flavor. Very well done.

For someone that doesn’t like wheat beers, if I had to drink one, this would be it. Very hoppy and flavor is great. It’s the wheat palate and finish that just don’t do much for me. Not a knock on 3F at all - just my personal preference.

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
