Jamie, Zombie Dust clone?
Not a clone but the inspiration came from that beer.  FWH instead of a 60 min addition and a bit more late hops

I don't have the exact recipe, but it was something along the lines of:

10# 2-row
0.5# Crystal 60
0.5# CaraMunich II
and a pile of citra and some cascade for each hop addition.
Mashed around 153, as I generally like malty IPA's with residual sweetness.
but it tasted like how magic markers smell.

I actually also spoke with Esty about it, and he referred to citra as a hande-with-care hop.

I'm not saying don't use it: just be careful. I tried to feature it in an IPA, and apparently used too much.

Thanks for the information and advice Kyle.

I've only used it twice as a single hop beer, and prefered it much more as a citra pale ale, than in a higher IBU citra IPA. A little goes a long way with this hop!
