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. Check out Skingraft Comics and Records at <a href=http://www.skingraftrecords.com>SkingraftRecords.com. Cheers!

On Tap at the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, IN. Was surprised to see this on tap at the casino. Had several glasses of this. The law of diminishing maginal utility did not apply to this one. I enjoyed the last drop as much as the first.

Growler from Rich O’s in New Albany. Pours dark orange with a hint of gold and reasonable head. Aroma of hops and surprisingly enough, gum balls. Mouth feel is very dry but when the flavor hits, it hits you hard. Great bitter taste of hops that lingers and eventually turns into a sweet gumbally flavor that dissipates very slowly. I had no idea this was a wheat ale when I was drinking it because it tasted so unique. Nice job Three Floyds!

Pours golden with minimal white head. Aroma is citrus, definite wheat quality, banana pepper, and vinegar. Flavor is lemon citrus, wheat malt, and hints of tart tropical fruit. Palate is super refreshing with a super dry finish. Nice one.

pours quite a light orange copper with minimal head. Aroma is citrus hops and wheat- not too complex, but very nice. Flavor is extremely refreshing after a night of heavy beers- wheaty and hoppy with a slight vinegar tinge to it. Palate is smooth, very nice wheat beer.

Draft at Birreria Paradiso in DC. Hazy orange color. Lively carbonation. Great mouthfeel. Lots of tangy wheat and lemon. BItter finish. This is an excellent beer fresh.
