I was nearly out of my Rye IPA and needed something hoppy on tap.  I was on the hunt for a juicy hoppy west coast’ish IPA/Pale.  A recipe on HBT caught my eye.  It claimed to be a clone of 3 Floyds Zombie Dust.  A beer sadly not available in my area.  It is hopped with citra only which was good because I had a pound of citra pellets sitting in my fridge for the last few months looking for a home.  I liked the tons of late hops for that juicy hop character.

Brewed on 1/11, dry hopped on 1/18, kegged on 1/25.
