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.

12oz bottle. Poured transparent, crisp amber. Aroma is a dominating white grape juice, with piny and floral tones. I could taste some honey, grapefruit, and the grape juice again. Small amounts of hops and a good balance. Haven’t had a wheat beer in a while, so this was a nice change of pace. Good session beer.

Pours a slightly hazed orange colour with a minimal but retainig off-white head. The nose is mild, with tropical citrus, honey and wheat. The flavour is hoppy, slightly acidic with a zesty lemon finish. Suggestions of orange, flavours of wheat and toasted grain and bitter hops. Very thin mouthfeel that has a creaminess from the wheat. A nice refrshing brewski.

Pours a cloudy orange hazy color with a head that faded just as quick as the pour. You can really smell a lot of hops with some minor light fruits on the nose. The initial flavor was rather bitter and you could really taste the hints of fruit along the sides of your mouth. The finish is a bit watery but still the hop bitterness stays in your mouth trough the entire duration of the beer.

This is a very creative use of hops. I am impressed. The beer pours hazy slightly-red yellow color, it has a large head that is spurred on by the sugary lemon aroma. At first taste I am not sure if this is lemon or hops and as I go I enjoy the balance. It is so balanced that it finishes with only a slight tang. Good stuff,

Found this one bottled at Top Shelf in South Elgin, Illinois. Hazy medium yellow pour and a thick white head. Very unusual wheat ale. An awesome hoppy and citrusy nose tops a very flavorful and complicated taste. Citrusy hops quickly moves into a citrusy maltiness, banana and orange. Very, very good beer.

Great hoppy flavor. Hits all parts of your mouth. Much better than most "run of the mill" IPAs.
