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.

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.

Thanks courtesy of Pepsican. Pours a hazy golden orange with white head. Aroma of fruit and hops. Tastes of citrus fruits like lemons orange and peaches, with a nice bitter hop finish. This is the first FFF beer I have tried and it has certainly lived up to the hype. Outstanding and by far my favorite wheat beer

Bottle Thanks to hopscotch: (All the people who thanked me for this bottle should thank him as well) Hazy golden with white head. Extremely hoppy aroma for a Wheat beer. Full of mango, orange marmalade and peach. Yowza! Very creamy texture. Fruity and hoppy flavor. Not much indication of wheat malt in the mash. Full of tropical fruits (mango, peach) and a smooth mildly bitter finish. Extremely hoppy for a wheat ale, but not much else to say about it than that. Overrated, slightly.

I have had before but not rated. Thanks pilsnerpeter for bringing. Aroma of sweet amlts and some sour citrus and grapefruit. Maybe some orange and lemon zest as well. Taste a lot more grapefruit and wheat. Some bread and yeast help the nice body too. Nice.
