On tap in Asbury Park. Not sure how old it was, but despite some citrus-y hop notes the backbone was way too malty for my liking, and not a particularly enjoyable malt bill at that.

This one was really good. Reminds me so much of Zombie Dust, with the exception of less malt to balance the flavor. Here goes:
A: Very cloudy orange. However, the head and lacing are great. Body carbonation is also sufficient, which makes up for the cloudiness.
S: Perfect. Exactly like Zombie Dust. Citra hops throughout. Grass, herbs, lemon, tropical fruit, and some peach. Splendid.
T: The hops are great, but the beer produces a slight oniony taste (might be an age issue, as Citra hops turn oniony with time). However, the flavor profile is good enough to make up for some of the overly bitter flavors. Tropical fruits, dankness, herbs, and flowers. Wish there was a little more malt to balance out the hops, but it's still a great brew.
F: Somewhat light, and maybe a tad too watery, but it's still a solid IPA.
O: Great beer. Will have again.

A mango colored, opaque pale ale that kinda looks like watered down orange juice or sunny delight - a small, lively head - this beer is as good as any pale ale I've ever had. Endlessly refreshing, it's the kind of beer you just want to drink a dozen of.
A: This beer is beautiful to look at, as previously mentioned
S: Citrusy, hoppy, and just oh-so-fresh smelling
T: A perfect pale ale, with a ton of juicy, citrusy goodness. Not as in your face as some Pale Ales (looking at Zombie Dust) but more drinkable. Not that bitter as far as I'm concerned.
F: Perfectly carbonated - not too much large bubble carbonation, and not small champagne bubbles. Perfectly in the middle. No foamy head when poured, either.
O: I really hope they can this next. I would never buy another pale ale again, if I could get this all the time.
