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.

Clear golden pour with a bubble head. Nose is hops, sweet malt, kind of intense. Taste is the opposite of what I expected: very mellow with the perfect amount of hops and a nice citrus finish. I’m not a big fan of wheat beers, but this is excellent.

Bottle. Absolutely and positively clear pour with a thin bubbly head. Mild nose, musky with some sweetness and hops. Grainy basmati rice flavor, dry finish. Thick and highly drinkable.

DLD On tap. Pours a clear golden. Bitter and quite citric. Very high hoppiness. Lots of grapefruit. Hint of plantsap. Light bodied. Kinda mild. Good. Been there, rated that, bought the t-shirt.

Slightly hazy straw, some white head. Big hoppy aroma: floral, some citrus. Spicy flavor, some bitterness, light sweetness. Light but full palate. Great session despite high alcohol.

This is simply the best Wheat Beer I’ve ever had. Orange with a frothy white head that went away. Easy to drink and full of hops - has a strong floral and yet dank and bitter hop profile. This beer may get me to try more wheats.

A- Pours a very clear light orange with a 2 finger, fizzy head which dissipates rather quickly. S- Is this a wheat beer or an ipa? First thing to hit my nose it a massive whiff of hops followed by a wheaty, light fruit smell, possibly apricot. T- Taste is smooth. Light fruits, earthiness, a bit of grain, followed by a distinct piney hoppiness. M- Medium viscosity, quite a bit of carbonation. D- This is certainly an easy drinker. Glad I have 3 because now I know what i’m going to pop open on a warm summer day.

Bottle courtesy of Holdenn. Pours a barely hazy gold color with a small white head. Aroma of hops, grapefruit, wheat, and fruits. Loads of bitter, sweet, grapefruit, hops, fruits and believe it or not almost gumball come together to give this low alcohol beer a rather big taste.
