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.

Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a big, foamy, white head. Aroma is citrus and flowers. Smooth malty taste with a grapefruit and piney hop finish. Definately the hoppiest wheat I’ve had. Quite enjoyable.

Cloudy amber-orange color with a huge creamy head that leaves a thick sticky lacing in my glass. Hoppy aroma of grapefruits and candy, flavors of pine and citrus, never had a wheat beer taste like this before. Medium body with a somewhat sticky mouthfeel, finishes bitter.

12 oz bottle courtesy of secret santa. Thanks Rudy. Pours a cloudy yellow-amber color with a small white head that has good retention and some sticky lacing. The aroma is soft with IPA-type citrus, melons and sweet malts. The flavor loaded with sweet lemon drops, candied oranges and a touch of biscuit. The mouthfeel is silky smooth and malty-full. The finish is short and dry. Overall: A very sessionable and enjoyable wheat brew.

Pours a hazy amber, with about an inch of foam. Decent lacing, nothing spectacular. Smells like a sweet black tea. Truly, I smell tea leaves in with the malt. Intriguing. Tastes like a sweet smooth wheat beer up front, wheat malt, some yeast, some bread, and then - wham - hops. Out of place but delicious. Spicy grassy hops. Medium to full body, nicely carbonated, mild spice in the aftertaste. I don’t mean to diminish this beer, because it is pretty good, but to me it has all the fixin’s of a wheatwine - just lacking the body and alcohol.

Bottle from a trade with StFun. Pours dark hazy golden color with off white head. Really strong hoppy aroma for a wheat beer. Lots of lemon and grapefruit. Flavor is also very citrusy with grapfruit dominating and some wheat. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Not a typical wheat beer but very good nonetheless. Thanks Josh.

Bomber rating. Thanks El Gaucho for picking this up for me. Aroma of citrus, lemon, butterscotch, and caramel. Appearance is hazy gold with a tight thin white head. Taste is hoppy with an unexpected dry finish. Interesting wheat, one of the better ones out there. This is quite refreshing. Being that this was a highly rated American Wheat I thought it might take on hefeweizen characteristics, but it really doesn’t seem to have the banana clove flavor that those have.

Golden color, nice amount of carbonation, lots of orange citrus notes here. I love Amarillo hops, and now I love them in American Wheat beers! Light and quenching and delicious.

Sparse aroma. Slight lemony. Pours a pale gold, thin white head. Nice round mouthfeel. Refreshing grassy finish.
