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.

22 oz bomber. Pours a yellowish golden cloudy color with a thick white head. Aroma is piney with lots of fresh hops present along with lemon citrus and wheat. Flavor is lemony with loads of hops and light wheat. Excellent !!! Another gem from the 3 Floyds brothers.

This beer has little head, and has a light orange-gold color. Hoppy scent with a solid mouth feel and a floral and orange flavor. While this is a wheat, it very much borders in the area of an IPA.

22 ounce bomber. an agressive wheat but what else would you expect from three floyds. the citrus hop taste is amazing. highly recommended. dont be intimidated by the bomber it will leave you wanting more.

Dark straw color with a white head. Aroma is citrusy, apricots, grapefruit, and very tropical. Flavor is sharply bitter and acidic (good) until mid palate when bready, sweet malt and deeply American hops with an orange peel oiliness take over for the finish. This is the Sauvignon Blanc of the beer world. Almost too good.

I wish I was lucky enough to live in an area where this beer is marketed. I am from Green Bay and picked up a bottle of Gumball at Sendiks in Milwaukee. This is one of the beers that I have been hoping to find someday, and I found one by chance. Classified as an America Wheat? Poured a small glass. Aroma was lime and pine to me. Like Two-Hearted Ale from Bells. Poured Clear gold. Head (which means nothing to me) would be average as to length and thickness. The hops were superb. Not too bitter - but with that trademark hoppy aftertaste. This is a very good product. Quality speaks volumes.

Really cool summer brew. Great presentation with a dark golden color with a thick white head. The lacing was superb here, hence the perfect appearance score. Aroma was very hoppy with citrus, graitfruit and lemon. Kind of like a light IPA and with similarities to the Alpha King. Taste was very refreshing especially the mouthfeel. It had a real refreshing bitterness to it which was not overdone.

Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of lemons, yogure and grapefruit. Tastes of oranges, and has a bit of an IPA feel to it. Great mouthfeel. Perfect summer beer.

on tap. knocked down a couple of pints over dinner. a delicious thirst quenching wheat beer! pour was a hazy golden yellow with a thin head that faded to lace around the edge of the glass. aroma was of floral & citrus hops. even though the aroma hit you in the chops, the malt flavor balanced out this beer to perfection. even my son, who likes wheat beer but not hops thought this was a great beer. unlike so many wheat beers that are thin and watery, this offered a medium to almost full palate. wonderful brew, I could drink this one all day!
