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.

I really enjoyed this beer and I am not a tremendous fan of the style!!! Thanks to Atalla for this one!!! You can’t miss the 2-3 inch head...a billowing white cloud that never leaves and greets your lips on every sip. It’s a cloudy rich golden hue and has aromas of citrus and a tint of pine. I think the most surprising and inviting aspect of this beer is the level of hops. Kind of a cross between a traditional wheat and a mild pale ale. Palate is light and refreshing...GREAT SUMMER BEER!!!

a perfect example of liking the palate better than the actual flavor of the beer. im not a fan of wheat ales at all, but this is the best ive had (even though im still not incredibly high on this one). slight candy and citris taste. the wheat is very evident, and the alcohol is pretty pronounced for just 4.8%. full of juice. a little sticky, but not overly so. a great palate though, the flavors seem to change while they sit in your mouth. probably wont drink much again, but thats because i dont like the style of beer, nothing to do with this actual beer.

Delighted to have shared this with the Toronto crowd and my first Three Floyds rating. Golden yellow with a slightly cloudy tint. An amazing hop-candyfloss aroma. Flavour- sweet hoppy mouthfeel, juicy! Very satisfying beer

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with thick white head that reduces to thin film. Aroma is citrusy, spicy, sweet and hoppy. Flavor is complex, citrus (lemon and grapefruit), with very pleasant spice character, some hoppy bitterness. Slighly sweet, very refreshing. I normally don’t really like wheat beers, but this is excellent.

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours hazy straw with initially big white head that dissipated in under a minute. Wow, the aroma is a load of citrus hops and pineapple mixed with mild wheat, lemon and orange peel. The taste is fresh and lively with lemon tartness, sweet malts, wheat some grapefruit hops and hints of orange juice. There’s also an under current of sugary sweetness. Good refreshing summer brew. Perfect for this warm winter night in FL.

Yellow pour with a white head that quickly recedes. Aroma was surprisingly strongly hoppy, quite a bit of citrus. Flavor is similar, lots of hops but a bit of wheaty bubblegum in the background. A very interesting wheat beer for sure.

A very nice yellow to straw in color. There were scents of lemon and a wheat/rye aspect. The palate is crisp but round with very nice texture for a crisp beer. The midpalate is light on its feet making this a very nice beer to drink on a warm day.

22oz bomber-A nice golden body with a nice two finger white head and an aroma of hops, wheat, and some citrus. Taste of the same with the wheat coming out a little bit more. A nice tasting brew.
