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.

Great refreshing brew! Three Floyds has a great assortment of delicious beers and this did not change my opinion of that. From start to finish, a symphony of amarillo and citrus bursts capped off with a smooth well balanced aroma. Both pleasant to the smell and taste, this one should be liked by most beer lovers.

This is an amazingly refreshing summer beer. Wheat bread, grain, lemon zest, bubblegum sweetness, and tropical fruit (mango and papaya). Very easy to drink and tasty, but not all that complex.

Pours orange, slightly hazy, with a large foamy/sudsy white head. Candied wheat malt, citrus, grapefruit and some spices in the aroma. Sweet and bitter with too much alcohol showing for something thats only 4.8%. A little bit salty and some bubblegum flavor. Average palate, slightly sticky. Not nearly as good as I would have thought by how fast it flies off the shelf. [Had this on tap at the Map Room.. .and it was much better than the bottle pour... ]

22oz from From the Vine, Columbus. I’ve been eager to try this for a while now, and it’s a pleasant, refreshing beer on this first truly warm day of the year. Golden and full bodied, with an energetic, overflowing head. It’s got a pleasant aroma, with ripe peaches, modest spice, and sweet flowers. The body’s just a touch thin, and the finish is bitter and dry. Pretty good.

12oz bottle from Nora’s Fine Wines (Indianapolis). Pours a golden caramel with a thick, frothy white head. Aroma: sweet and citrusy with a nose of apricot and peaches. Flavor: Sweet and spicey with ripe peach and apricot overtones. Grapefruit bitterness on finish. Excellent and refreshing wheat ale.

nice deep golden amber color with a aerated white head. wheaty, with lots of citric acid and good floral notes. not my favorite style but a good example of a wheat.

12 oz. bottle via trade from Acknud. Pours straw yellow/gold with a small, fizzy, white head that is rimming. Smells of wheat with sugary, cotton candy type vibe. Taste is skunky wheat with slight fruit, a touch of sweet candy and moderate bitterness. Decent, I"m thinkin’ this one may have had a bit to much age on it, and fresher is better.
