Style: American Pale AleBrewery: 3 Floyds
Package: Growler into pint glass
ABV: 6.2%
Gravity: Unknown
IBU: 50
Location: 3 Floyd's Brew Pub
Aroma: Big floral hop aroma and citrus
Appearance: Nice hazy golden color with a foamy white head that dissipates quickly leaving sticky lace clinging to the side of the glass
Taste: Citrus, Tangerine, great hop flavor and just the right amount of bitterness, balanced slightly with sweet malt
Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation and body
Drinkability: This brew is extremely good, at 6.2% ABV, it's not meant to be a session beer, but it is so delicious that I don't care, I'll drink the entire growler in one sitting
Notes: Zombie Dust is a single hop (Citra hops from Yakima Valley) American Pale Ale, one of my favorite styles. Rumor has it that 3 Floyds is going to start bottling Zombie Dust within the next few months, a move that I fully embrace. This brewery was already in my top 3 before; Zombie Dust makes them #1 in my book. I can't say enough about this beer... drop what you are doing, drive to Munster and get some. If they don't have it on tap when you get there, camp out until they do.
Food Pairing: Typical Pale Ale pairing, pizza, spicy food, burgers... this will complement a lot and is very refreshing.
Grade: A+ (Yeah, it really is that good.)
Yes, very delicious! Well worth the stop on the trip home this weekend.

Just noticed that Zombie Dust is #1 on the list of top American Pale Ales.

anyone know where to find some bottles? i know they are not shipping to many liquor stores right now. i can't find any.
ReplyDeleteWe were just at the brewpub on Monday and were told that they likely won't have any Dust until after the new year. They didn't even have any on tap there, let alone any available in bottles. We'd all be glad to know if anywhere out there currently has some.
