    They need to. Holy Moses this is good. I love Zombie Dust, but this may have it beat as far as citra hop IPA's go. Why the heck wouldn't they bottle it? They would absolutely sell the crap out of it.

    I was surprised to find it at my local watering hole tonight. Super delicious....and yes, it should be bottled.

    I saw this on tap around Seattle at a few different places some weeks ago....now I'm kicking myself for passing it up.

    I had this and it was incredibly dry. Dry up front and a drier finish. I might compare it to All Day IPA (which I also don't care for) but Zombie Dust??? That's a head scratcher.

    only if they agree to remove the excessive bitterness the they're known for.

    Sounds awesome, but I'm actually more excited about the next beer in the series, Symposium IPA. Simcoe, Tomahawk, Amarillo, Cascade, and Centennial? I just went from 6 to 12 thinking of that beer.

    It is at the Yardhouse, Santana Row in San Jose. I'm a sucker for Citra beers. I'm not prepared to say it's any better than other Citra based IPAs I've had but this GF Hop Odysesy stuff is pretty darn good.

    Sources close to me suggest the Hop Odyssey variations will, indeed, drop next year in 22oz format. A move I applaud as I don't drink out much and I'm not a huge fan of growlers (carbonation and volume issues considered).

    I have yet to have a beer from this brewery that is anything less than awesome. Well, aside from Friendship Brew. I enjoyed trying that beer, but wasn't awesome. Cannot wait for their East Coast operation to be up and running so their beers are punching me in the mouth super fresh.

    I've never had it but more citra beers on the market in bottles can only be a good thing.

    Heard the same. Kinda hoping they make Citra one of their seasonals instead, either by shortening their current "seasons" from 4 to 3 months and putting it in the spring or summer, or just by getting rid of Saison Diego (which I like well enough, but I'd much prefer Citra in 4 packs for the hot months).

    Or, you know, make it a year round...

    Idk why they wouldn't make this at least a bottled seasonal and sell the shit outta it. I'd love a good citra pale ale or ipa out here.

    I had it a couple weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Lots of flavor and low ABV, I really preferred it to Founders all day
