Never really cared for Hop Zombie - perhaps it never got here fresh enough. Can. Just cloudy gold with a loosish white head. Aroma of Meyer lemon with some floral and herbal touches, soft crackery malt, glacé pineapple and pawpaw. Light bodied. Less defined support for the hops than usual from Epic with citrus and candied tropical fruit before a bitter finish that nags a little. Pretty good but to my surprise I liked the hazy version better.

Tall can from Brewcraft at home. Golden clear pour with white fine head. Aroma is powerful mango pineapple pine resin candy with some light cereal malt. Really nice. Taste is much more restrained. Definitely more pine resin than fruit but it’s lighter overall - not as enveloping as the aroma. Cereal malt and some lingering bitterness. Palate is medium. Not bad for sure.
