Medusa's first definitive foray into our region's indigenous style of India Pale Ale, SOFT MACHINE is crafted with Maine-grown 2-Row and an extra-healthy potion of flaked oats and wheat to promote a soft, smooth mouthfeel and that telltale haze. Yeast-driven stonefruit esters are intertwined with vibrant tropical citrus fruit notes from the dry-hopping trifecta of Galaxy, Citra, and Mosaic.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: amber hazed color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace; light lace clung to the glass.
Aroma: some stone fruit, freshly cut grass, light citrus and clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together slightly in a semi-bittersweet sort of way; mild finish of citrus and peaches but somewhat like marmalade
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; low carb, once again mobile on the tongue (not watery but not slick or gritty)
Overall: not a bad NEIPA, I'd probably go for this before some of their other offerings I've had.
