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. Check out Skingraft Comics and Records at SkingraftRecords.com. Cheers!

nice deep golden amber color with a aerated white head. wheaty, with lots of citric acid and good floral notes. not my favorite style but a good example of a wheat.

A very nice wheat brew. A hazy light gold yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is nicely balanced of wheat, hops, lemon and citrus. Flavor is hops and then the lemon and citrus flavors come in. Probably the best wheat beer out there. Palate has a nice sour bitter (very light). Perfect for a wheat ale.

Very nice lemony hop aroma. Reminds me of a quality pale ale. Taste is very crisp citrus with a slight hint of wheatiness. Definitely not your typical wheat. Somewhat light, but extremely quaffable. A sixer of Gumballhead will not last very long. God bless Three Floyds!

A Three Floyds standard. Pours very thin, with a light frothy head. This stuff has a very light hoppy flavor, with a lemony spice after taste. A very drinkable wheat beer.

On draft at the brewpub. Straw colored and a little cloudy with a white head. Lemony aromas. Spicey flavors with a dank hop flavor mixed in.
