Three Floyds Gumballhead

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

Shared by DrBayern @ Steves house (Thanks Matt!!), poured from a bomber, hazy medium amber. Aroma of wheat, hops with flowery malted tones. Flavour is of a full bodied, hopped wheat beer. Lovely balance, incredible beer. Would love to try on tap.

Bottle. Pours a slight hazy amber, big white head. Aroma is sweet hops, maybe some wheat. Flavor is hops, malt and wheat. Nice beer.

Three Floyds Gumballhead is a very interesting beer. I have a tough time calling it a true wheat ale because of the strong hop flavor and initial taste. However, the hops seem to disappear as soon as you swallow the liquid. A nice appearance with a good head, this beer if full of inconsistency. It drinks like an IPA and finishes like a wheat. That said, it is still very good.

Another bottle from StFun, Muchos Gracias. Reasonable head, around a half-inch or so. Yellow gold color, not much yeast visible but definitely present in the aroma. Not too cloudy. Smells fruity and surprisingly hoppy for a Wheat Ale (I guess that’s Three Floyds’ thing, which is fine by me). The taste is really interesting -- much hoppier than other wheat beers that I’ve had. Smooth and has a very nice finish -- bitter and slightly sour. A very good beer.

Bottle from STFUN!; Poured a yellow color. Not much head. Smelled really fruity, some citrus and pine hops. Taste of hops and over all sweetness. I could see this being a good summer time brew. Very easy to drink. UPDATE Oct 09. Poured into a lager glass. Big head. Nice lemony aroma. Citrus and pine as well. Taste is a light piney and lemon taste. Nice hoppipness in a wheat ale... good brew

22 oz. bomber served in a Pilsner glass 2006 release Pours a surprising clear yellow-orange. I thought there would be cloudiness to it but there was none. Nice 1 inch white head that lasted a while and left great lacing. Slightly more carbonation than your average beer. Good pop on the nose. Great grassy aromas with a touch of citrus. Flavor was outstanding. Probably the best example of the style, at least that I’ve had. Grass and citrus with a yeasty, hoppy finish. AMAZING. Not heavy on the pallet making this very easy to drink. This is a great beer for the warmer season coming up.

The color was hazy golden. The head was thin, fizzy, and white. The aroma was sour, wheat, and lemongrass. The flavor was hoppy, whieat, and lemongrass. The palate was nicely carbonated. The finish was clean.

Thanks ucusty. Pours a hazy copper amber with a two finger creamy white head. The aroma is wheaty, sour, citrusy, slightly hoppy. Very citrusy, hoppy, I love amarillo hops, wheaty, a bit sour, yeasty, good flavor. Nice hop presence in a wheat. The palate is not too carbonated with a bit of a crispness from the hops. Citrusy finish.
