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.

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

Hazy golden color with a large white head. The aroma was full of citrus...particularly grapefruit, with a sweet character in the background...bubblegum, ashes, and toasted wheat. The flavor was wonderfully balanced between the aggressive citrus hop tones and the sweeter wheat tones. Lively, crisp feel with a semi-dry finish. Wonderful American Wheat! Thanks BBB63.

Aroma is fruity--grapefruit and apricots. Color is quite orange, very clear. Was expecting this to be something in between SN's summer beer and Oberon--in other words drinkable but boring--but the hop kick really makes this one interesting. A somewhat musty wheat base is overlaid by a seriously bitter apricotty hop dosage. Finishes very dry, leaving you wanting more. Once again, 3F puts a unique spin on a style and pleases the palate.

22oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours a slightly cloudy golden color with a tiny beige head. The head dissappears very quickly. No lacing. Aromas include orange, lemon, and a suprisingly big dose of hops. Flavor is very crisp with a lemony bite. A hint of banana in there also. This beer could almost be described as an IPA mixed with a wheat beer. The mouthfeel is very light and refreshing with a good amount of carbonation. A pleasent surprise in the wheat category!

Golden orange body with some chunks. Thin white head with some lace. Nose of wheat, hops and coriander. Clean citrus flavor accompanied by wheat and hops. Hoppy, citric finish.

Probably my first american wheat. Not impressed at all. Hoppy aroma (don’t like that in a wheatbeer). No body and hardly any aftertaste. Odd sweet side tones in the aftertaste as well.

bottle, pours a deep hazy gold, thin white head. Pine resin and citrus hop nose with hints of lemon peel. Nice soft wheat and pale malt body with a bitter lemon and hop finish that is very pale ale in nature. Dry, mildly piney, but with a pronounced hop bite that keeps things refreshing. Nice!
