I never had a true Three Floyd's Gumball Head, but based on the reviews of this Hop forward wheat beer, I took a gamble. I do like Boulevard's Hoppy Wheat Beer, so I felt it safe to take a leap of faith.
5.5G into fermenter: Using 4 ounces of Amarillo hops total, only .5 oz 60 min boil for bittering, 1 oz 15min, .5 oz 5 min, 1 oz flameout, 1 oz dry hop in keg. This beer really shows off the single hop Amarillo which I am a first time user.
2 Row/Wheat/Aromatic 50/40/10. Mashed 148F, yeast was US-05, OG 1.053. Two weeks in primary @ 65F, 1.009 FG racked to keg, added 1 oz dry hops for 4 days at room temp in sealed keg.
This is without doubt the one beer that I am starting another batch as I am just now bringing online after set and forget carbing and conditioning. There is an interesting flavor that the wheat brings out in the Amarillo, and for the lack of better description, it is almost like a toasty or faintly nutty nuisance. This beer is so balanced easy going that I am putting it on a ration system. I was so proud of this one I took a bottle from my tap over to a buddy who owns a local brewery. He immediately said he wants to do a joint collaboration on a 100G batch for the taproom. Yep, it's THAT good!
