A hazy pale ale with strong candied fruit, citrus, and mango character. a soft, round mouthfeel thanks to the flaked oat and wheat addition is balanced by a pleasant bitterness.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange/copper color with a thin foamy white head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace.
Aroma: dried mango hoppiness, some white grapes and a clean malty base
Flavor: blends the previously noted aromas together somewhat sweetly with a clean finish of the dried mangoes and white grapes
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness along the tongue but also some hop stabbing (getting to be astringent-ish)
Overall: it's not a bad take on a NEIPA; however, I'm unsure how quick I would be to return to this.

Brewery draught, 6/4/25.
Hazy, dull brass. Small, white head.
Juicy, lightly spicy, light white grape. Biscuit and white bread balance gently. Clean.
Earthy, dusty, with a musty quality and lots of citrus, light pine and unripe tropical fruit. Good msktiness up front, drying out nicely. Very fruity yeast. Hops are good for what's there but this is not Medusa's strong point (NEIPAs).
