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.

Straw-colored with a fine white head. Powerful aroma of banana, bubblegum, and spice. Lively and spicy on the palate. Leads to a very tasty wheat beer. Malt, yeast, bubblegum, and pepper. Slightly bitter aftertaste. A delicious wheat beer.

akoeninger (154) - Wisconsin, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Slightly hazy, golden with white head. Dusty earthy hop flavor, light citrus flavor and aroma, lemon finish. Crisp sweet, hops cut through and make it refreshing. One of the better wheat ales I've had. Nice summer beer. Gavel a better opinion of what a wheat ale could be. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Lilja (952) - 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.

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 (1367) - 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.

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.
