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.

Clean soft gold, hardly any head. Clean juicy hops, wet with pineapple and mango. So clean the hops jump right out and fade out quickly. I don’t see much in the way of wheat, yet this is more along what I would brew for a wheat ale.

Thanks to stfun37 for this 12oz beer. It smells very lemony just as the label states. Golden yellow with some fizz at the top. This has a very strange taste some lemon but also slightly fishy, what the hell? There is something very strange about this beer that I just don’t quite get.

Fresh bottle shared by Ryan & Felicia at Daknole’s. I love Gumballhead! Pours bright golden with slight haze and small off-white head. Estery, fruity aroma. Grainy body. Delightful backbone of beer that is not yeasty at all, just loads of character, sweet grain and wheat malt character. I am loving this full-flavored characterful beer.

Pour is a hazy gold with a large white head. Aroma is a a very nice hop especially for a wheat ale. Flavor is some grain and citrus hops but nothing really stands out. A odd beer with the araoms of a pale ale but the flavor of a wheat.

Golden in color with a small head. Aroma is of citrus, hops, wheat and some grass. Taste is of grass and grapefruit with a moderate hop bitterness.

Appearance: has some red tones from the red wheat; otherwise a light orange, almost golden; pretty clear slight haze like they say; however, loses points for very little head Aroma: very enjoyable; has a slight rye presence to go along with fruity wheat; gumballs are not out of the question; the amarillo hops seem to show a light American citrus feel but not too present Flavor: Frankly, it’s delicious! Wheat and rye nicely blended; light malty sweetness provides just enough of a presence; Mouthfeel: medium body; high carbonation; average texture; above average finish

On tap at Chumley’s Clear yellow amber in my glass. Smells like citrusy hops, not very wheaty, but great. The flavor is very hoppy, balanced with malt, and there might be some wheat in there, I can’t really tell, but I like it anyway. The mouthfeel is thin and refreshing. I like the fact that this isn’t very high in alcohol. This is a good ’un.
