Mebs! I forgot I had a can of Zero Gravity Conehead India Pale Ale in one of my beer fridges, and I forgot about it. I have to ask, though, is this a beer best consumed in mass quantities? Maybe you can ask Beldar. This just might be his new favorite beer-even if it’s not brewed in France.

I am alluding, of course, to the old Coneheads skits on Saturday Night Live that later became a full-length feature film. How could you not think of them when enjoying a can of Conehead India Pale Ale? Although the crisp, refreshing nature of this beer does make it sessionable, if you did want to consume in mass quantities.

Zero Gravity says:

All Citra-Hopped IPA brewed with Pilsner malt and American wheat. Pours a beautiful golden haze and is bright and juicy on the palate.

This beer might just be your Rushmore.

Zero Gravity Conehead India Pale Ale has an alcohol content of 5.7% by volume and 49 IBUs. I paid $2.19 for a single 12-ounce can from Half Time, which is a pretty darned good price for a single. Total Wine sells it for $12.99 for a 4-pack of pint cans in Richmond, VA and $17.99 for a 12-pack of 12-ounce cans in Union, NJ. My can was stamped 10/29/24.

Zero Gravity Conehead India Pale Ale pours to a bright golden orange color with a very thick fluffy, rocky white head and a nose of zesty citrus fruits. Taking a sip, the beer is light to medium in body and immediately pops with bitter grapefruit and lemon zest notes. There’s a bit of pith and pulp, too, and at the last the beer finishes bitter, dry and refreshing.

So, I ask again, is this best consumed in mass quantities as the Coneheads might say? You know better than that. Always drink in moderation.

Glad I tried it?  T
