HOPIQ TAKE
3 Floyds Zombie Dust if you want a bigger, more assertive pale ale that demands attention, Jake New Zealand Pale Ale if you want something cleaner and easier to drink through a session. They're both sitting at 38 IBUs, so the bitterness is matched—the real difference is that Zombie Dust's extra 1.4% ABV and the way 3 Floyds builds their recipe gives it noticeably more body and presence. Jake feels intentionally restrained by comparison, which isn't a weakness, just a different philosophy.
