Zombie Of Dankness
Beer Zombies Brewing Co.

 

 

Pours a medium, bright, clear yellow with a light, lacey head of foam. Aroma is heavily grapefruit. Taste follows, being highly citrus -- grapefruit, some orange, all light and clean. This is a more bitter West Coast IPA than in my experience, though pleasant. This is a very drinkable West Coast and leaves one with a good feeling. Hail to the King.

A: The beer is cores amber yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly died down and left a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of grapefruit are present in the nose along with notes of pear.
T: The taste has flavors of pine and grapefruit/orange citrus with hints of candy and pear. There is a moderate amount of bitterness.
M: It feels medium-bodied and very crisp on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This West Coast IPA combines both a complex variety of aromas and flavors with bitterness.

Serving type: can

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a very slightly hazy, medium coppery amber with a thin, patchy head that persisted a film with light lacing. Aroma of biscuit and lightly caramel malt, citrus and dank hops, toffee, vague citrus rinds. Flavor is biscuit malt, citrus and lightly dank hops, a touch of caramel, grapefruit, a touch of pine. Good, lightly piney and citrus rind bitter finish. Medium bodied with light creaminess. This had a base malt that was closer to an English bitter than a domestic IPA, reminiscent of the early days of craft beer with a heavy influence of English styles. The alpha bitterness is solid IPA and a quite satisfactory IPA finish. Not getting a high level of dankness, although there are some earthy dank notes here. Not what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed this, probably because I love malty flavors and this one hit that spot as well as being a bit nostalgic. Old fashioned and satisfying. Needs a bit more head, though.

 

hoppy well made ipa great ipa to enjoy all day

From an undated can, pours an ugly, murky brown. This is supposed to be an IPA, but it smells and looks like a bad Scotch ale. Zero hops, overly sweet malt. This is a garbage beer. I took one sip and poured it out. Last time I bought a Beer Zombies IPA, I had the same experience, and vowed never to buy their beer again. Sadly, I tried this one. One sip, and four cans poured down the drain. Never again, for sure this time.
