Three Floyds Gumballhead

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

Bottle - pours a dark gold, mostly clear not cloudy. Aroma of pine, slight lemon, grass, something unique I cannot quite classify. Moderate white head, mostly diminishing, with lacing throughout finish. This is unlike any other "wheat" ale I have ever tasted, definitely the hoppiest. I really, really like it and the spices are pleasant to my palate, at least. I can drink these all night - an excellent session beer for sure. Well-balanced, and like I said to me the hop presence is excellent and welcomed with this beer. The finish is smooth, tasty and not dry. Cheers!

Bottle. Pours a hazy body with a white head. Wheat notes; citrus, coriander, lemon grass, and pepper notes. Spicy hints of ginger and pepper tones. Sweet and slightly chewy with a light fruit y finish. Good brew.

Pours the typical cloudy orange you might expect of a wheat ale. Little less orange though. Maybe not very much wheat in the mash? Anyways, aroma of piney hops without much of cloves or bananas you might expect of a wheat beer. Flavor is certainly more pronounced in terms of hops than any wheat I know of. However, I do pick out the typical banana flavors more here than in the aroma. Finishes nice and yeasty. Definitely a good beer that is pretty sessionable.

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.

Love all three floyds beer, as they are a local brewery that takes pride in every beer they produce!

Picked up a sixer at a place called Hi-way liquor about 35 miles outside Indianapolis (looking for any Three Floyds products, especially Dark Lord). Copper blonde pour into off-white foamy head that dissipates into sticky melting lacing as carbonated bubbles rise from the bottom of the glass into a swirling pool of bubbly foam. Aroma of piney hops and sweet malty biscuit. Initial flavor of wheat bread that slowly fades into a lemony grapefruit citrus finish with hint of sugary candy.

Bottle - Poured clear golden color with minimal white head. Aroma - Initial citrus grassy hop scent followed by bread and slight barnyard smell. Flavor - Citrus and bread like taste, bitter and also tasted like rye. Really enjoyed the nice hop bite!! Palate - Medium bodied and sticky texture. Average carbonation and finish is bitter and fairly long. Overall - Pretty good brew. Too high priced for a low ABV. and taste is just above average!!

Bottle. Smell is sweet, hoppy, fresh, piney, peppery, licorice-y. Bit of that licorice and pine continues in the tasting ... bready, little thin, metallic, and I suppose, a bit of bubblegum. Bitter. Not like any other wheat beer I’ve had.
