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.

Bomber. Pours a slightly dark straw color with a billowy white head. Mild sweet lemony aroma with a helping of hop aroma behind it. Medium-bodied, not too light. Zesty citrus start with hops and sweetness in the middle and a dry finish. Refreshing, and the hop character really adds complexity to brew without making it unrecognizable as a wheat beer.

Bomber, pours a clear pale golden with a moderate white head, no lacing. Light aroma of hops and citrus. Taste has a very slight hops bite, zesty and a touch of lemony citrus in the finish. Light and lively on the palate, a very refreshing summer wheat, and no lemon wedge needed!

poured into a tulip. pours a clear golden yellow with large, full frothy head. sweet, wheaty, yeasty, hoppiness on aroma. Hops present and wheat on the taste with no bitterness. a citrus presence on the finish. a good refreshing drink. i wish i had more.

Holy crap! This is a wheat beer? Three Floyds has done it again. Aroma of hops and a little yeast. Pour was a cloudy light orange with a small one finger white head.Taste was like an American pale ale. Hoppy and malt in the aftertase. As an American wheat (which is hard to agree with) is perfect.

22 oz Bottle: Pours a cloudy golden color with almost two fingers of ivory head. After a few minutes the head is almost gone with a thin crown. Orange dominates the nose with a nice hop presence. Citrus and hops dominate the taste with a distinct grapefruit finish.Unusual and good at the same time.

A very smooth wheat, thats well balanced. Not too dry or bitter, but it has a sweetness and even a nice hop presence (!). Probably the best wheat I’ve ever tried.

65 cl bottle, Shelburne (imported from Munster). Lemony hop aroma, less carbonated than expected, bitter finish with a long burn.
