Three Floyds Gumballhead

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

22oz. 2007 release, very fresh. pours hazy golden w/ lemon hint with white head. nose has nice pnw hops, lemony. flavor is sort of infected! medicinal notes, soem cookie, loose hop presence. perhaps i got a bad bottle because i heard this years was solid. i’ll have to re-rate......................2007 12oz bottle release. wow this is very fresh and hoppy, more like a hoppy pale ale with some wheat malts than a wheat beer but whatever. sorta of a mellower alpha king. i could drink this all day.

Another great brew by Three Floyds! Great summer drink! This beer is definitely a lot like a hoppy IPA, but is a wheat beer! Crazy mix, but the amarillo hops are amazing when paired with this red wheat. Lot less hazy and lighter than traditional wheat beers. Great wheat style if fan of HOPS. Excellent brew from FFF, especially since 6pack became available

Drank in line while at Dark Lord Day 2007. First beer of the day.....FINALLY and thanks to Sombeast for seeing my obvious thirst for some malty goodness. Slight lemony character and the presence of the house hop profile that is FFF. Which, I might add, am not a fan of. Fizzy, wheaty and citrus/lemony best describe this one. Good thirst quencher, but very average overall.

Man this was awesome. An amazing lemon citrus aroma. It was almost like those sour gumballs that they made back in the day. Poured an almost clear golden orange color. The flavor was pretty hoppy with a nice touch of some sweet wheat. Very citrusy. Very unique for an american wheat beer. It was very thirst quenching. Somewhat resiny from all of the hops, but it was light and extremely drinkable. I really enjoyed this one even if it was an $11 bottle of beer. I will probably try to track this one down again.

I had this on tap at 3Floyds Dark Lord Day. I’m not normally a big fan of wheats these days but this is an exception. Has that nice bitter hoppy flavor that I love with a little sourness... Like lemon zest! Yum! I could drink this all day... and I did :)

22oz. Bottle: Lightly sweet, medium bitter aroma. Smells of amarillo hops, pine, resin, vanilla, and a little citrus. All together it kind of smells like a gumball. Poured golden-amber in color with a small, creamy, white head. Small lacing. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is medium bitter but not sweet or sour. Tastes mainly of hops, with a little lemon, some citrus, wheat, and Amarillo spiciness. Light to medium body. Slightly watery texture. Nice tingly mouthfeel. Average carbonation. Short, hoppy finish. Lots of nice hops but needs a little more malt backbone; body is unbalanced in a negative way. Overall, decent and drinkable but did not meet my expectations. Maybe I just don’t like bubblegum.

Pours a light orange color with a white head. Aroma is of light wheat, and citrus hops. Flavor is slightly wheaty, with a bitter citrus hop finish. A very american hoppy wheat.

On draft at DLD. Poured a hazy yellow with a thick white head. Great citrus/lemon aroma. Smooth hoppy flavor, not much malt, but a bit of biscuit that goes well with the lemon flavor. A very refreshing beer on a hot day.
