Thanks to wildcats10 for including this in a trade. Poured into a Crate and Barrel Snifter. The bottle date/numbers are smudged, so I cant tell how fresh this is.
A – Pours a hazy dark orange hue with a half finger, off-white head that dissipates very quickly as it settled to the edge of the glass and left no lacing.
S - I was expecting this to be an in-your face hop bomb and it was not that at all. They hype of this beer made me anticipate the strength of hop aromas I get from Abrasive, and Heady Topper, however this was way more muted. Comparing this to other Citra beers such as Citra from Kern, this too was a bit underwhelming. Very grassy, with slight hints of pine and not much else.
T – The taste, is thankfully much better than the aroma. A very well bended and smooth arrangement of hops and malts. I’m mostly picking up grapefruit and pine which leaves a nice citrus finish.
M - Medium body with lower than liked carbonation for the style. Dry. Worthy of a return from the dead.
O – This really is a nice beer, but perhaps it wasn’t as fresh as it could have been. I will seek this out again to make sure I give it a fair shot, but to me, Citra is a way better example of this hop.

Supercalifragisexy! I have been longing for Zombie Dust since moving out east. Glad to find it at a pizza joint in DC of all places. Never disappoints, explosion of citra for your mouth.

I mean, what can you say? Just a fantastic beer. You take that, couple it with the fact that it’s readily available across most of the U.S. and you’ve got yourself a solid option for a great tasting Beer.

Top notch in all aspects. No wonder it's #1 in its style.

It's good but I don't really understand the hype. I like super hoppy beers but there's a balance between IBUs, sweetness, and grain flavor here that is missing for me. That said, all those hops make for a wonderfully fragrant pour and despite my disappointment I would try this on draft if I saw it.
