Homage to TODD BATES
Not every hero wears a cape. Todd Bates was wearing his old straw hat back in the '90 while searching for the NEOMEXICANUS hops in New Mexico.
Thanks to his and CLS FARM'S hard work in 2014 we got MEDUSA hops. First 100% native, wild, pure, American hops. After 10 years Medusa is no longer grown.
This is The Last bag of Medusa hops, this is The Last beer with Medusa hops....This is THE LAST DANCE.

BBT southern edition may. Many thanks to Croatian crew. Orange golden color with small white head. Aroma of grapefruit, oranges, zest. Taste is hop centered wit grapefruits, oranges, tropical fruits. Coul be more hoppy bitter, still enjyoable.

Can, 0.5l. Hazy yellow pour, one finger soapy white head, medium retention, broken lacing on the glass. Nice and juicy on the nose, refreshing citrus notes, pineapple, peach, melon. Light grassy notes in the background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, soft, chewy, silky. Goes down nicely. Balanced juicy bittersweet taste with subtle sour notes in the background. Aroma of citruses, citrus peel, melon, pineapple, peach. Herbal and grassy notes, oats, light spice. Subtle coconut in the background. Medium to long lasting finish, juicy, dry, light stickiness. Tasty.

Can from Goblet, shared with Hrabren. Murky yellow-orange body, off-white head. Just lovely aroma, orange, coconut, citrus and that old slightly paintish Medusa herbal profile. Lean, dry, herbal, peppery, orange-citric taste, lightly coconutty, again that vague paint herbal touches, just a trace touch of hop residue in the throat. All in all, a worthy tribute to a pretty unique hop (great and questionable at the same time) and a fantastic individual whose passing went unnoticed by the brewing scene as a whole, but without whom, and let's put it this way, we wouldn't have hops like Sabro on the market. So yeah. Love that I've tried it, sad I missed it on tap by an hour or so. +1 to overall because of what it's all about.
