The Circus Hoppy Carnival collaboration project.
Two witches couldn't prevent his birth, nor could the serpents. Yeah, it's the baby Hercules who made all the Milky Way stars shine. And that was just the beginning. Of he went, capturing hellish beasts, protecting the weak, and helping wherever he could. And no deed was hard for him. He even cleaned heavenly stables in a day! Until one day, wondering in the Great American Wilderness, he met beautiful Medusa with her three pureblood wild hops flower heads. And if you wonder how the story went - they now live in Circus and dance as they please, together forever.

Can @ Højbjerg tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is hazy golden. Aroma and taste are fruits, sorachi ace like hops, malt, flowers and has a nice bitter finish. Bad choice of hops.

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts, a light creamy sweetness. So finally, Medusa hops! Been looking for these for 2 years. The Neomexicanus multi head wild hop. What do they taste like? Bonkers! Piney coconut pineapple, like a slightly tamed Sabro but a little citrus underneath and some floral fruity goodness that flirts with candy. Soft but punchy tropical fruits, kinda soft peach and guava. Soft floral melon. Soft pine throughout. But these hops have teeth and there is some spicy bitterness on the finish. Not quite as outright insane as Zappa hops then (also Neomexicanus) but very complex, layered and attention grabbing. Hope these can be grown on a larger scale without destroying their wonderful wild character.

Can sourced from Beerdome and shared at home (13/09/2020) - hazy yellow to orange with a white head. Big bold juicy fruity showcasing a stonefruit medley of mango and nectarine, apricot, some pineapple, papaya, white sugar sweetness, soft sweet malts, robust hoppy finish, yet another winner from Slovenia’s finest hop slingers. Gorgeous.

Can. My first time with medusa. Pours a super hazy and cloudy yellow, little head. Aroma is super juicy, coconut, pineapple, peach and orange. Like a better Pina colada! Medium body. Flavour is malty and lightly sweet. Super juicy and fruity, with beautiful pine and herbal hops. Pineapple, coconut and peach, soft orange, grapefruit, lemon, papaya and mango. Wow, what an interesting hops. Super juicy and fruity with loads of pine.

Can, Pivoljub. Pretty hazy orange-yellow, medium small white head, not so lasting. Nice hoppy nose, citruses, melon and coconut in the end. Medium bitterness, a bit sharp in the start, dry in the finish. Lasting aftertaste. Lighter body, no trace of alcohol and a bit cloying. Interesting.
