    Lil Sumpin Extra is better than the case of ZD I just picked up on 9/10.

    Doesn't seem worth the effort with the way it tastes right now.

    I agree lil sumpin extra is better. With the ABV you don't need many.

    I agree in that it's been on the decline from years past. I usually grab it twice a month from the brewpub and I've consumed my fair share. However, the batch from Wednesday seems to be back on track. Had a few last night and my second today. It falls off as fast as any other beer, but with the way it's drinking now there will be no problem with it hitting my belly before the citra hops lose any flavor.

    Agreed on the decline of ZD, but I though the same about PseudoSue recently. This leads me to believe that it is an issue with the hops as stated above. I travel to Cresco frequently for work and live in the Chicago area, so I get to have both fresh fairly consistently. Disappointing too, because they were both incredible in the past, hopefully this changes.
