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. Clear yellow brew with large sea foam like head, minute lacing. Inviting malty lemon grass aroma. Lemon-bitterness with an orange zest flavor. Bit of a burn on the roof of the mouth. Medium bodied, dry finish, pretty drinkable and this from a guy who is not a fan of wheat in his beer. Would have tasted better under the noon sun today which was near 90 degrees.

22oz Bomber. Poured into a pint glass with hazy honey colour and a medium offwhite head that dispates quickly. Aroma of grapfruit, orange peel, lemon zest. Flavor begins with a citrus hops and lemon surrounding. Finishing with a refreshing mouthfeel of sweet wheat. Some similiarties to an IPA. Good Brew.

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a tiny beige head. The head dissappears very quickly. No lacing. Aromas include orange, lemon, and a suprisingly big dose of hops. Flavor is very crisp with a lemony bite. A hint of banana in there also. This beer could almost be described as an IPA mixed with a wheat beer. The mouthfeel is very light and refreshing with a good amount of carbonation. A pleasent surprise in the wheat category!

Chicago Trip. Saturday 15:00. On tap at the brewery. Hazy dark yellow. Light head. A few tiny particles. Strong full hop aroma. Delicious hoppy wheat, especially for lower ABV. Not a lot of ethers or yeast. Just hops. Seems hoppier than 18 IBU. Delicious hop taste and you can make it a sessional. As an added note I had some back home after an IIPA and the flavour and hops were much more delicate.

Shared with presario, Tipsy_Mcstager, and ChineseHercules. Pours a slightly hazy deep gold, with a rapidly fading white cap. Fresh and faintly citrus aroma, lighter mouthfeel (but I just finished the Maharaja, so everyting is going to taste lighter), citrus-accented pale malt profile with a clean finish. I’d like to try this out of the shadow of the IIPA we just tried to see if more character becomes evident, but having said that, I still liked it.

On tap at TFBC pub. A deep golden pour with a light goey white head. A lot of hops for a wheat that covers most everything else. A light fruitiness on the front that is quickly covered by the hops a light bannana like flavor comes back on the end with some grapefruity hops. Solid palate that has good carbonation for a wheat. Very very clean for a wheat excellent carbonation and fruit and hops flavor combo.
