Notes:
An American Wheat Ale, Gumballhead is named in honor of the underground comic book cat created by Rob Syers. Initially a seasonal summer beer, now brewed year round due to demand. This beer helped redefine American Wheat Beers. Brewed with Amarillo Hops and a generous portion of American red wheat, Gumballhead has a complex hop aroma with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, marmalade and peach. These flavors combined with low bitterness make Gumballhead a refreshing American Wheat Beer that doesn’t suck.

12 oz bottle poured into tulip.
A- Slightly hazy glowing golden with a small white head.
S- The Amarillo hops are the first thing that hits the nose. Slight bready wheat towards present as well as orange. It's not as in your face as a white IPA so I think it is true to style.
T- Hops are on the forefront follows the nose in that it's not a punch to the palate but more subtle, dry, dank hop. The finish is just a slight touch of red wheat with a little yeast and bread. It's a very well balanced and a slight dry finish.
M- Light to medium mouthfeel with low carbonation makes this extremely drinkable almost dangerously so. Not too sweet or bitter with hops and the wheat really is a nice touch to round it out.
O- I think this ale along with everything I have tried from FFF truly lives up to its reputation. There's just a comfortable dankness to their ales and this one is no different. I will definitely be drinking this when the temperature is getting up there this summer. Cheers.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
A: Slightly hazy golden yellow color. Bright white head.
S: A blast of citrus hops, pineapple and peach. Sweet wheat/breadiness. Not much going on here but what little there is is very nice.
T: Doesn't taste as hoppy as it smells. Citrus (orange/grapefruit) and some sweetness from the wheat. Big bite of citrus without being too bitter at the end.
M: Light bodied with medium carbonation.
O: Very nice, light beer. Perfect summer beer in my opinion. Crisp and refreshing, I could see this being a great gateway beer for non-craft drinkers.
