Big thanks to Azurescens for sending this as an extra in a trade.
Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy orange color with moderately high carbonation. About 3/4" of off-white head forms that has nice retention and lacing.
Smell: A hoppy pale ale. Lots of citrus, orange rind, grapefruit. A nice amount of caramelly and biscuity malts to accompany. Very nice.
Taste: A nice malty, caramel sweetness up front, followed by excellent orange and grapefruit rind and other citrus notes. Extremely well balanced, but does lean towards the hops side. And the hop character in this beer is very tasty.
Mouthfeel/Overall: Between light and medium bodied, with nice fine carbonation. A bit fuller than many pale ales out there. Overall, the best example of this style I've tried. Really reminds me somewhat of Gumballhead as far as hop character, but unlike that beer, this has a nice malted barley presence to balance that wheat doesn't provide. Very impressed.

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.
