Agreed. The Gumballhead has a stronger/more intense aroma and, in comparison to the Weiss, focuses more on hop flavour than astringent bitterness, but both beers are exemplary takes on the Wheat Ale style. From my perspective, Miami's bolder bitterness and lower ABV (4.5% vs. 5.5%) distinguish it from Gumball in a positive way i.e. they constitute Great Lakes' own unique interpretation of an APWA. If the Weiss was an
exact carbon copy of the GBH, I'm not sure that would be a good thing (originality should count for something, right?).

Especially if it was sold IN small animals.
Funny I was thinking (of the Miami Weiss): "I'd like to blend Adventinus with this to see if I get more body and flavor complexity." (Speaking of Schneider Hopfen-Weisse.)
So my go-to wheat beers ales for the moment are Quebec's Dominus Vobiscum Blanche and the brilliant Georg Schneider Wiesen Edel-Weisse.

That's amazing! Would have been great to try the beer, but that video kinda makes up for the fact that I missed it.
