Clone for Zombie Dust from Three Floyds?

Im sure this is probably a stretch but does anyone have a recipe they think will match Three Floyds recent release of their Citra Pale ale Zombie Dust? Amazing stuff!

Make a pale ale and hop the crap out of it with Citra, should get you 90% of the way there. Sadly unless you have some Citra already they'll be tough to find until the next harvest.

Looks like they have Citra over at Midwest Supplies.

Here is my attempt, did a side by side yesterday. It is definitely close. I may do round 2 tomorrow with some modifications.

I've made this a couple of times, and though it isn't a clone since we had never had a Zombie Dust prior to making this, it is probably a solid starting point. The IBUs may be low compared to ZD and this has less alcohol.
