Three Floyds Gumballhead

Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is alive with citrus. grapefruit, lemon, and orange take up most of the flavor, but some nice hops and wheat tones come through. Finishes so quick you take another drink, and another, and another. I always keep a few of these around to drink after I have a few impy anythings, these things are like a battery for your taste buds.

12oz bottle from unclejedi. Orange juice looking pour with a 2 finger thick, pillowy white head. HUGE grapefruit aroma, smells like a fleshy, perfectly ripe ruby red grapefruit. Haven’t encountered grapefruit to that degree in any other beer thus far. Also pick up hints of pineapple, sweet citrus candy and wheat, with a huge hop backing. The grapefruit is toned down quite a bit in the flavor, but still present, along with more sweet citrus and wheat, and tons of hops. Thin to medium bodied, nicely carbonated and feels perfect for the style as you drink it. Heavily astringent, but doesn’t detract at all from the experience. Finish is medium in length, citrus and sugars followed by bittering hops. The aroma is just enormous and phenomenal, and the flavor lives up to that billing. Surpasses Oberon as my favorite American Wheat. This would never leave my stash if it was available fresh in Florida. Outstanding!

yeah, buy this. drink this. i cant believe how clear this was for a wheat beer. just shows that you dont have to have chunks of stuff floating in your beer to be good.

Bottle from Binny’s (Orland Park, IL). Poured from 12 oz bottle into a conical pint glass. Pours a nice lively yet hazy golden color. Small head that manages to stick around and laces fairly well. Aroma of hops, citrus, and some wheaty notes. Taste is wonderful. Hops and citrus with the wheat beer finish I truly enjoy. Hoppy cerealesque finish. Wheat and a lemony aftertaste that is a little candy-ish and sticks to the palate and is reminiscent of about 15-30 minutes after you’ve eaten some Lemonhead candies. A hoppy assertive wheat beer that is wonderfully done.

Bottled sample via oakbluff. Gold in colour with fairly strong carbonation. Aromas of stale malted wheat and citric hops. Hop forward in the mouth, followed by more wheat malt and some coriander like citrus flavors. Some bitter length on the finish keeps the wheat in check. Pretty good overall, especially considering the style. This bottle might have been a bit past its prime too. Probably really nice when fresh and on a hot patio in the summer.

Very good beer, smooth and refreshing. The aftertaste left me wanting more. Best wheat beer on the market.

This is by far the best wheat beer out there. Nice golden color. nose is hops and citrus.Taste is wheat and hops. I like to let this one warm up a bit. I feel it brings out the hops more. Drinkability is great.

Wow... I don’t like wheat beers! This is great. Relatively clear yellow, small white head. Aroma of citrus. Very hoppy taste with (as the description says) a lemony finish. Very nice drinkable beer.
