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.

Thin, white head quickly disapates to none at all. Slightly hazy. An original wheat. Hops dominate the aroma and flavor while strong lemon-grapefruit notes balanced by a malty uncurrent. This delicious brew finishes with the flavor of sweetened grapefuit zest. A very crisp, refreshing summer beer.

Like no wheat I’ve had. Lacking all those traditional flavors. Refreshing is a good adjective. It is light. Like a straight up ale. I like how 3F messes with the concept of a wheat here.

A great light beer with a citrus hop taste. A lighter taste that’s not overpowering but still has the typical hop FFF taste. Very refreshing, very light. A bright yellow appearance, mildly hazy.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with yem25. Pours a very hazy yellow gold with a moderate white head that quickly faded to a film and left virtually no lace. Strong aroma of pine along with some banana and lemon notes. The flavor is a bit of a disappointment. Heavily herbal with some pine as well. There is no lemon, banana or wheat for that matter. More bitter at the finish than I was expecting too. An interesting beer, but not what I would choose for an everyday wheat beer.

Crystal clear deep golden hue with a thin white head. Aroma is all hops, and nothing but the hops! Big amarillo citrus punch in the nose. Flavor is decidedly delicious. Big malty backbone - almost rich honey flavors - thn a big lemon zest fresh citrus finish - but not tart. A fine beer - well balanced while stilll giving us a great amarillo profile.

Bottle. The pour is straw colored and so clear you can read a newspaper through your pint glass. (What a nerdy coatings chemist like myself might call a "10 haze".) The thin white head is not long for this world, but leaves behind thin lacing on the glass. Nose is grass and bubblegum with a surprising amount of citrus hop aroma. Taste follows that template, and ends with a crisp, slightly bitter finish. Easily one of the most refreshing, drinkable summer beers available.

Straw-colored with a fine white head. Powerful aroma of banana, bubblegum, and spice. Lively and spicy on the palate. Leads to a very tasty wheat beer. Malt, yeast, bubblegum, and pepper. Slightly bitter aftertaste. A delicious wheat beer.
