    Something was buggy with Zombie Dust's rating, it's fixed now. Sue is still in third place.

    My awesome coworker got me a sue bomber from his brother in Iowa. I don't know if I should drink it, or just stare for a while

    I disagree with your opinion. But more to point I disagree with you lumping these three together.

    Or is Day Tripper all citra hops?

    While I am a huge fan of Zombie Dust and FFF, I will say that Sue is a better beer in my opinion.

    I have loved Zombie Dust from the very first drop I ever tasted. It's one of the few beers that has held up as my beer palate has developed over time. When I recently started hearing claims that Sue was a ZD killer, I had to track some down. Last weekend I finally did get a bottle via trade.

    The verdict? Well, damn. From the instant the aroma hit my senses, I knew Sue was going to be very special. And the taste delivered on the that promise. While I wouldn't go so far as to call it a ZD killer, I say it is on equal footing, no doubt about it. Any day I can find and drink either of these brews will be a good day indeed. Cheers!

    I still have yet to have a ZD. Hopefully sometime in the next couple months.

    Had my first ZD last night at about 20 days old. I couldn't pick a favorite in a blind taste test, because they both are o so special. I will get Sue from time to time, but I won't be getting ZD anytime soon unless I find a mule.

    Agreed, though it's a tasty beer, Day Tripper doesn't taste anything like the Citra pales. The CTZ/Summit in Day Tripper are very obvious to me. Indeed's website says "Willamettes, Cascades, CTZ and Summits".

    I agree as well, Day Tripper is very tasty. But a bad comparison.

    Would love Indeed to be available in lower MN by La Crosse, Day Tripper is one of the APAs I have had this year that really impressed me. I would love to be able to have a 6er of Moon Man, Hopalicious, Day Tripper and Pseudo Sue available in my fridge at all times!

    Of course TG would have to switch to 6ers, which I hope they do soon, I have bought the Bombers the last couple of times.... But they are getting bigger now, time for a switch:slight_smile::wink:

    A bad comparison? Why because of the choice in hops? They are all 3 APA, I think it is a fair comparison, and it's only an opinion anyway. So now by your logic it would be in bad taste to compare Pliny and Abrasive?

    Zombie Dust blew my mindhole at Darkness Day a few years ago, and I haven't found a beer to compare since. There are many other great pales and IPAs... Moon Man, Hopalicious, and Day Tripper are all great beers. But I'd drive from MN to 3 Floyd's (and I have) to buy a case of ZD. Pseudo Sue is good, but not ZD good.

    They said on facebook that allow with the first xhops they hope to bottle an "old favorite" soon. I am assuming they are talking about Sue, but they could be talking about golden nugget too.

    I'm thinking it is Golden Nugget, as Clark did mention that would be bottled in December at some point! Sue OR Nugget....you can't go wrong!
