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.

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.

Bottle from out west! Pours a gold beer with a thin head. Arom is hoppy suprisingly for a wheat. Flavor is citrusy and oily. A little bitter. Not what expected, but it is still damn good!

Bottled: Pours a gold color with small white lacing. Smells of sweet citrus and pine. This beer tastes amazing with a fruity taste with hints of wheat and malt. The best Wheat Ale I have ever had!

pours murkey medium yellow with a frothy white head. Aroma is lighty malty of grain, heavily hoppy of pine and lemon and lime moderatly yeasty leather? and bubblegum. Flavor has a great balance with some grapefrit / citrus but not overdone. Finish is the same but a bit more bitter, clean and refreshing. light bodied on the watery side with lively carbonation. Nice.
