Three Floyds Gumballhead

Brewed by Three Floyds Brewing Company
Style: Wheat Ale
Munster, Indiana USA

I was floored this morning when I discovered this is a wheat beer. Incredible smack of hoppy, floral goodness hit me right right away and I thought for sure it was some version of an IPA. Lots of fruity goodness packed with a nice punch. I loved it. Still cannot believe it’s a wheat.

Thanks courtesy of Pepsican. Pours a hazy golden orange with white head. Aroma of fruit and hops. Tastes of citrus fruits like lemons orange and peaches, with a nice bitter hop finish. This is the first FFF beer I have tried and it has certainly lived up to the hype. Outstanding and by far my favorite wheat beer

Hard to believe this is a wheat beer. If there were a category for "gumball" bres, this one would be signature. Lemon citrus sugar flavor somewhat reminiscent of gum from baseball card packs (but this one’s charm doesn’t quickly disappear). Very enjoyable and unique. A glowing body and summoning head makes this a must try beer for any explorer.

I’ve had this beer a number of times, but have never (obviously) reviewed it. I’ve only had it from the 22 oz bottle and once on-draft at the Three Floyds brewpub. The beer pours a light orange and is lightly hazy. There is a pretty plentiful amount of head, but its resiliency is limited. Aroma is sweet and slightly citrus-y, but not too impressive. Taste is awesome! This beer is fairly light for an APA, but very lively and citrusy. It is bitter without being overpowering. You could definitely enjoy several pints of this at a sitting and not feel like a Macy’s Day parade balloon. The mouthfeel of this beer is great. Is heavily carbonated with light, small bubbles, and is lighter than many other big-time APAs. A very good beer that is worth picking up whenever you can find it.

Poured from a bomber amber in color with an off-white head. Aroma was citrus hops. Flavor was citrus hops with a lemon finish. A great offering from 3F’s

Normally I’m not a fan of grapefruit, but the zinger on the tail end of the taste is a nice change of pace.

Man this was awesome. An amazing lemon citrus aroma. It was almost like those sour gumballs that they made back in the day. Poured an almost clear golden orange color. The flavor was pretty hoppy with a nice touch of some sweet wheat. Very citrusy. Very unique for an american wheat beer. It was very thirst quenching. Somewhat resiny from all of the hops, but it was light and extremely drinkable. I really enjoyed this one even if it was an $11 bottle of beer. I will probably try to track this one down again.

poured into a tulip. pours a clear golden yellow with large, full frothy head. sweet, wheaty, yeasty, hoppiness on aroma. Hops present and wheat on the taste with no bitterness. a citrus presence on the finish. a good refreshing drink. i wish i had more.
