Here's hoping this hasn't been hanging around the store or on a truck too long.
Nice dark gold color, slightly opaque. Moderate amount of fine head, but not a lot of lacing.
On the nose, there's a really pleasant tropical thing going on with pineapple and guava, with light-moderate sweetness. Some pine needles are in there, but the balance of having it mostly fruit is favorable. Light orange, maybe shading a little toward lime.
Fruit up front, but that quickly gives way to earthiness in the back. I don't know that I could say pineapple is the fruit, so much as nondescript citrus. Moderate sweetness, moderate-heavy bitterness. Decidedly malty. Lots of cut grass, tree bark, and moss. It doesn't lean toward pine as much as some other brews.
Nice moderate weight. Very well integrated carbonation. Woodsy aftertaste. It's really smooth drinking, too. This first can is going fast.
So, overall it's pretty good, but I get the feeling I'm missing something by not finding a can that's less than 14 days old.

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.
