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.

Very nice lemony hop aroma. Reminds me of a quality pale ale. Taste is very crisp citrus with a slight hint of wheatiness. Definitely not your typical wheat. Somewhat light, but extremely quaffable. A sixer of Gumballhead will not last very long. God bless Three Floyds!

A Three Floyds standard. Pours very thin, with a light frothy head. This stuff has a very light hoppy flavor, with a lemony spice after taste. A very drinkable wheat beer.

On draft at the brewpub. Straw colored and a little cloudy with a white head. Lemony aromas. Spicey flavors with a dank hop flavor mixed in.

Look is golden in color sort of hazy with a light white lacy head. Smell is wheat, hops, pine, and citrus. Taste is wheat, malts, hops, pine, and citrus. Easy to drink.

Tasted on 5/4/08. The appearance is at first sort of off putting. It pours a fizzy filtered yellow with a white head that fades fast, but once you get to the smell you know its a whole different ballgame. It smells of strong citrus hops and a nice wheat sweetness. The taste is similar to the smell and its just perfect. A nice hop bitterness with a sweet wheat after taste. Its more like a plain pale ale but with an added wheat sweetness. This is an exceptional beer. The mouthfeel is sort of thin but its ever so drinkable. I wish I could get this all summer in Texas!

Bottle. Moderate notes of cereal, lemon for the hops, light leather for the yeast, with hints of apple, white wine, corriander and maybe some bubble gum. Head is small, white and creamy with fair lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is amber with a slight haze. Flavor is lightly sweet and moderately acidic to start, and finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, between dry and watery and has a lively carbonation. A very tastey wheat ale, I drank this way too fast.
