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 @ Brew’s. By far the best "wheat" beer I’ve had. How to improve wheat beer? Add a ton of hops. Love the aroma.

Bottle from EithCubes - Thanks! Pours a rich golden color with a light haze. Smaller white head. Nose is full of hops. Wow, not what I’d expected. Taste is also hoppy with a good crispness. Some hints of citrus and yeast.

This was a good wheat beer. Solid aroma blends the yeastiness with the hops. A nice representation of the style.

Cloudy orange..light beige head...aroma is malty mixed with hops...you can smell the creaminess and bananas...and well the palate is creamy as well...mild malts and hops balanced well and blanketed in a silky and creamy presentation...a bit of stick , left to the lips...lip smackin’ good...lingering flavor, bubbles in the mouth, almost like cotton mouth...most wheat beers don’t have this wonderful hop presence...nice job on individuality... 3 floyds , now get back in Jerzze!!

pours yellow with a one finger bubbly white head. aroma is mostly 3fs’ Amarillo hops, orange peel, and a touch of wheat and malt. has a medium body with descent lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but a bit stronger. has some sediment floating around and a dry hop aftertaste. also has a touch of lemon at the end. as it warms the red wheat comes out a bit more aroma and flavor wise. kind of in between a pride and joy and alpha king with some wheat.

Bottle fermented comething almost blew up when uncapped...Hazy light yellow saffron hue with fizzy white lastine head, some lacing, lemon smell, light texture, not hoppy at all, a bit watery, hint of lemon citrus and light wheat, light, not very complex but very refreshing especially on a hot day. Good packaging too.

hazy golden with good frothy head. not crazy about amarillo hops usually but this was pretty flavorful with some sweet malt finish. good summer beer.
