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.

This isn’t a common wheat ale. The bottles appearance could have told me that. It stands out. The hops are prominent and I enjoy the after taste.

Lilja (950) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 16, 2013
Smak och doft av citrus, persika, aprikos med toner av citron och jäst. Torr, jämn och fin APA. Frisk, fruktig med lagom sötma och trevlig beska med citrus- och grästoner.

Pint at Chumley’s. Clear golden, thin white head. Beautiful juicy fruity hops, nice peppery character, grassy, straw, wheat, nice stuff.

bytemesis (1400) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - MAY 8, 2013
Bottle. Pours clear golden butterscotch with a small creamy white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is faint wheat, grass. Flavor is light citrus, wheat, bit of lemon zest. Light sweet, light bitter. Light bodied, prickly carbonation. Very refreshing. Like a wheat pale ale.

haukur (1009) - Reykjavik, ICELAND - MAY 6, 2013
Yellow, some cloud, no head. Fruity aroma, yeasty and almost citrusy finish. Good summerbrew, but maybe 3F´s rep is overpowering the actual beer.

Vignale (1364) - Malmö, SWEDEN - MAY 6, 2013
Flaska från Mikkeller and friends. Kylskåpskall. Mörkt gyllenfärgad, klar, lågt smutsvitt skum som lägger som ett lock. Fruktig doft av citronzest, mandarin, aprikoser, persika och jäst. Lätt kropp, fruktig sötma, stora citrussmaker, aprikoser, torrare avslutning, lätt gräsig citrusbeska, viss jästsmak och maltiga sädsmker. Fantastiskt gott.

firkinChad (26) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - MAY 5, 2013
A-straw, subtle pepper, and lemon. A- hazy yellow, head disappears quickly. T-lemon zest, grassy malt, grapefruit flavor and bitterness. P- velvet grain malt that moves to spicy, dry bitterness at the end of the swallow. Very enjoyable and dynamic for a wheat beer. Delicious.

Pours hazy pale amber with medium white head. Aroma of wheat, earth, hay, honey, grapefruit, grass. Taste is sweet with a light zesty bitter and sour. Lingering light bitter finish. Body is light and refreshing with about average carbonation. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jandd1983 (1566) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - MAY 4, 2013
Sampled at DLD 2013. It poured a clear golden color with a white head. The aroma was of light bitter hops, honey-like sweetness and a clean malt backbone. The taste was of clean hop bitterness, honey sweetness and wheat with a very clean mouthfeel. Decent.

On tap at Florentine in Chicago. This is a really cool beer; very different from run of the mill wheat offerings. Tasting this blind I would have thought this was a rye beer. Aroma is incredible - floral hops and sweet fruit. Taste has same characteristics along with lemony notes; once again - thought I tasted rye malts in here. Kinda reminds me of Founders Rye P.A. Unique beer that I recommend you try if you get the chance.
