“This intensely hopped and gushing undead Pale Ale will be one’s only respite after the zombie apocalypse. Created with our marvelous friends in the comic industry.”
Glassware: IPA glass.
Appearance: Hazy pastel orange with a light amber fusion. It forms a healthy two finger head which holds its shape and makes a mess of our glass as it ebbs.
Aroma: Bright orange blossom and tangerine overtones, honey & lemon strepsil, orange zest, lemongrass, blended tropical fruits like lychee, mango, pineapple and ruby grapefruit. The malt profile is rather sweet and sticky…honeyed and slightly syrupy but it’s nicely balanced by all of the citrusy and tropical fruity hops.
Flavour: A bit of oldschool west coast IPA going on! Dry, bitter and mildly acidic grapefruit and orange peel mixed in with a whole lot of mixed citrus – pithy, zest etc. A hint of honey and candied lemon around the mid palate which lays down for another rush of citric bitterness. A hint of herbal spice late in the piece leading to a dry finish but with a soft rounded sweetness.
Mouthfeel: There’s a nice crispiness to it. Medium body with an assetive hop bitterness (60 IBU). Some stickiness on the lips as well. 6.2% AbV. Everything just sings in harmony!
Overall: An absolute pleasure to drink…just so well balanced and effortless. This has been on our beer bucket list for years so we’re stoked to be finally trying it…and it lives up to the hype! It’s a cut above really.
