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; Nose of a pale ale with lots of hops and a little citrus; Looks more like a wheat; hazy gold with a medium yellow-tinged head; flavor is hoppy with some citrus and a pale ale bitter hop finish. Now the question; Do I rate to flavor or style?

Pours a cloudy yellow with a nice white head. The aroma has notes of lemon and hops with a flavor that is nicely hoppy with a light lemony background.

Fantastic Wheat Beer. Great hop aroma. Citrus-sweet taste. A very palatable beer for this style. This is a great summer session beer.

Light orange pour with a rapidly disappearing head white head. That’s the only thing I don’t like about this wheat. Now, 3F uses just a ton of hops in everything they make, blurring the line between styles.....so much so that I wonder if their brewers can tell their products apart. I’d be hard pressed to diferentiate this from Alpha King. So, I don’t know if I’d associate this with other wheats I’ve drank. That being said, I did enjoy this. Citrusy front end with a medium fisted hop finish. Well worth the money.....get this if you see it.

Hints of banana, lemon zest abd wheat do not go well with piney grapefruity hops. The basis is nice, do away with the hops and I may consider drinking it again.

(650 ml bottle) A bit shady golden color, white head. Hoppy bitter scent, sweet, orange stuffed with cloves. A bit of yeast. Hoppy and bitter taste with some "X-mass" spices like pommerance peels and cloves. Rather high bitterness. Wouldn’t guess it for a wheat beer at all. Rather nice if you disregard the lack of "wheat style" in it though.

bottle. this is not your traditional wheat. slightly hazy golden/copper pour with thick off white head. nice lacing. fresh wheat, citrus, lemon and hops in the initial nose. Caramel and honey as well. wheats and grain define the body but this is dangerously close to a mild IPA. Nice carbonation, citrus hops and bitter ending. Great tasting brew.

22 oz bottle. Hazy golden orange color with bubbly white head that laced the glass. Attractive citrusy hop nose and flavor with a nice dash of bitterness on the tongue. Kind of like a wheaty IPA. Delicious.
