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.

22oz bomber, 2007 vintage, deep golden color, full head that is slow in dissipating, smells of citrus and weeping willow (no kidding..), really nice full body, lemon, pine, pepper... hops, lots of glorious hops for a wheat beer. Nothing else like it!

Aroma of orange, peach, grapfruit. Herbal and citrus in the mouth with a pleasant lemon-orange-infused bitterness. Refreshing finish with some linger bitterness in the sides of the mouth. A new style? WAPA?

cheers goes to Mgumby for this one! Has alot of barley wine characteristics, hints of molasses and caramel. Pours blonde with a white head. The 4.8% surprises me! I thought this was a wheat wine from the taste! Which is great, tons of flavor with lower alcohol.

Pours a copper amber color with a small white head. Smells of sweet malts, very mild wheat, and yeast. Hops were there too, but just faint traces. The taste was very malty as well, the wheat seemed to be in the background. Almost had some barleywine characteristics to it, which were unusual. Sweet little finish. Some cinnamon, wheat, and malts in the aftertaste. Didnt taste much like a wheat, but still tasty.

Thanks to Miketd for the 22oz bottle! Excellent session beer for the hot and humid weather in NC. Pours gold with light head and organic honeycomb patterned lacing! Amarillo hops up front wheat on the back. Faint gum aroma/flavor.

Super duper summer refresher refresher. Light on alchol and body. Much more ale than larger and not too bready or yeasty. Lot of lemon. A session brew.

Hazy yellow color. Smell of wheat, hops, citrus peal and lemons. Taste of hops. wheat, flowers, citrus, lemon zest and sugar. The hops are great in this one.

Three Floyds uses aggressive hopping to elevate a mundane style to a decent drinkier. Hazy canary yellow body is topped by a tall white head. Pine cone, citrus rind, and wheat in the aroma. Aggressively bitter hops to the taste. Too aggressive in a wheat for my palate. Hints of lemon and black pepper underneath. Dry finish.
