Pour is a gorgeous clear golden orange, with a fluffy white head that leaves a ton of lacing. Lots of bright fruity notes on the nose, very citrusy, some white grape, nice hoppy smell and there’s a hint of a grassy floral character there. Wow, amazing taste. More floral hops than I would have expected, but still its very much a citrus dominated taste with lots of orange and mango, slightly sweet with a dry finish, maybe some pineapple on the finish too. Easily the best and most well balanced pale ale I’ve had.

To be honest I can’t remember the last time I drank Zombie Dust from a glass…but IIRC it’s pretty attractive…FFF does an inexcusably poor job labeling their bottles though. Fail. Aroma is OJ, tea, Cheerios®, medical-marijuana, bottle…taste follows with pronounced tea, truly nonexistent bitterness - yet magically drying (FFF knows how to handle Citra for sure)…crushable, crushable, crushable…wish the ABV was lower…blah blah blah…if it is it, it is it, if it is, it is it, it is!

Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Tap, 040513. Amber with white head. Aroma of citrus, flora and malt. Flavour with caramel, fruit and spices.

A gift from my friend Mike. Classic glowing orange color. Really nice toasty hop aroma. Call me crazy but it reminds me of a toasted English muffin with butter and honey. With a hop salad on top. A little thin in the middle but it adds to it’s drink ability. Awesome beer.

Draft at Hopleaf. Pours clear light amber with a foamy, slightly off-white head. Aroma is huge amounts of graprefruit; just incredible. Aroma also has notes of other fruits (citrus and tropical) and a touch of pine. Taste has a lovely balanced bitterness, with notes of grapefruit pith and rind, tropical fruits, hops and some light sweetness. Finish is clean and bright with a nice bitter bite. Really great stuff.

Beautiful pour the aroma hits you immediately full of piney hops. Chewy nice on the front not the best on the finish. Still another good choice from 3F. A little cellar time is probably a good call..Recommended !

Pours hazy amber with a white head. Aroma is caramel, peach, citrus and grapefruit. Flavour is caramel, citrus and grapefruit. Well balanced.

Pour from a 12oz bottle. Medium brown brew with off white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops. Great bitter blast on a thin malt backbone. Nice cirtus finish. Well done brew.

An ultra tropical aroma with fresh yellow grapefruit dominating the nostrils. Very yellow with a golden head. The flavor is more astrigent than expected, with plenty of CO2, but as crisply hoppy as a balanced beer can get. Easy drinking with very present hops. An easy win, but I did find it to ’pale’ in comparison to gumballhead... and to anyone who says they favor this over two hearted, just don’t whack anybody while you’re waving your three handed flag. This beer really, really rocks... but I do think it’s pretty hyped. I’ll blind taste it when I get the chance and check back in.

At CBC 2013 on tap of FFF booth. Probably after a dozen of other beers. Sorry for the pour description: cereals, grapefruit, herbs. Light body, oily texture, average duration. Mainly bitter profile. Easy to drink Pale Ale.
