Medusa

◎ Appearance

Medusa presents a striking salmon-pink hue in the glass, a direct result of passion fruit and dragon fruit stacking. The body carries visible thickness without appearing dessert-laden, suggesting a smooth mouthfeel beneath. Fine carbonation supports a delicate head with modest lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—passion fruit and dragon fruit dominate, backed by distinct lemon, kiwi, and pineapple accents. Beneath the fruit sits a gentle tartness from the kettle-soured base, with no sharp vinegar notes. The aromatic profile remains inviting and summery, with subtle creamy undertones that suggest the smoothie character.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and tropical, with peach and citrus notes landing first on the palate. The mid-palate deepens with sustained passion fruit and dragon fruit character, while lactic tartness weaves throughout without dominating. A restrained sweetness (around 60%) balances the acidity, keeping the beer refreshing rather than cloying, with pineapple and orange notes adding complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and lactic, with tartness receding gracefully to leave a dry, honest aftertaste. Residual citrus and stone fruit linger briefly without heaviness.
