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.

Thanks to STFun for the bottle, number #1100. Pours a light hazy gold with a thin white head. Citrusy orange hop aroma with hints of wheat. Light crispy wheat malt taste with a nice citrus hop bitterness. Crisp refreshing wheat ale, excellent.

bottle poured a golden color with a thin white head and good carbonation. aroma has juicy citrus hops, pine, sweetness, and a faint bit of wheat. sorta like a stick of juicy fruit. mouth feel is light with crisp carbonation. flavor highlights the sweet citrus and pine hops. there is a wheat beer under there but the hops just take this to another level. super drinkable but so juiced full of flavor.

Clear gold pour with a small white head. Nice juicy mango and grapefruit aroma with some grassy wheat maltiness. Estery citrus flavor with a fair amount of piny hop bitterness on the finish and a note of clover honey. Medium-thin body with lots of tingly carbonation. What an awesome summertime beer. I wish I could buy it locally. I would drink the crap out of this stuff!

I had this on draft and in bottle at DLD 09. The draft was fresher but they both were tasty. Poured a semi-cloudy yellow with a nice white head. The aroma was hoppy and a little spicy. The wheat and hops made a very drinkable beer.

I love this stuff. Could drink like 15, yet it has good character. Nice citrus hop aroma and really does kind of taste like original flavored bubble yum. Light yet flavorfull. It’s a really good lighter beer.

22 oz. Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large white head and good carbonation. The aroma is grassy with spices and some fruits, but also a surprising amount of hops. The flavor is wheat grass with spices and hints of fruit. The hops from the nose are not quite as prominent, but definitely there. Medium body and smooth drinking.

Bottle. Pours a dark golden with a very thin white head, great lacing. Aroma is stong with wheat and hops. It has a sweet character to it and some citrus notes really come through. The taste is not what I expected, but still very good. The wheat really comes ou in the taste and the hops are a little hidden. This beer is very balanced and has a slightly bitter finish. A great beer, worth trying.

Bottle, courtesy markwise. Clear filtered golden color, frothy white head, thin braids of lacing. Hops in the nose, spicy vegetal note, some dry grain and wheat. Flavor is wheaty, crisp fruit, and some hops in the finish. Meh. Thin-bodied, drinkable but boring. Havered it.
