Really enjoyable hops in this IPA. Very tasty and not ones you get every day. Quite a danky and sticky taste. Almost like mosaic hops but with juicy/hazy IPA vibe. I'm impressed by this rich and flavorful IPA.

 

 

 

APPEARANCE: Clean golden amber, with a huge off-white head. Exquisite lace!

NOSE: Tropical juiced hops, citrus and mango oh yeah!

TASTE: Wickedly heavy on the fruity hops, with a heavy body yet superlative balance and a bitter finish. Really an ‘A’ grade IPA!

 

12 oz. can, canned on APR 21, 2022, five month old IPA isn't typically my jam, but we'll see what we have here. Acquired the mixed 12 pack from the local grocery.

Poured into a Camp Crystal Lake stemless tumbler glass.

A - Pours a nice golden orange, not dark or burnt, but it has some darker hues to it. Has little over a finger of frothy white foam head that exhibits good staying power, leaving some nice scattered lacing. It looks pretty nice, to be sure.

S - Notes of caramel and toffee jump out at me initially, clearly a sign of the beer's age having effect on it's malt content. Notes of peaches and cream begin to emerge beneath that. The scent of fresh whole hop cones is still present,

T - Taste is still bright and fresh to be quite honest. The hop content is still bitter & juicy, with good notes of citrus and stone fruits being very apparent. The malt does lend a sort of caramel, almost toffee-ish taste to the beer at times, but I honestly also enjoy when certain IPA's have achieved a bit of age, and this one seems to have held up well.

M - Feel is smooth, crisp, clean. Well carbonated, medium-light body, with a rewarding 6.30% abv.

Overall, has held up well and still recommended. Would love to try it fresh at under 2 months or so in the can, but such is life. I'm confident in giving this one 4's across the board.

Revolution Brewing Medusa-Hero -----4/5.

Medusa Hero IPA pours a slightly hazy, bronze color, with a small, but long lasting, lacing head. Aroma is sweet, with a hint of pine. Flavor is sweet and sticky, with a dry pine note to finish. Good body and feel. Overall a sweeter IPA, love the dryness, very good.

I got a couple cans of this beer from a mixed 12pck that I bought from a Walmart store in Vernon Hills, Illinois. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had dank citrus with subtle pine flare. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with pine resin hop base and bright citrus accents. The mouthfeel was medium in body and had good carbonation. Overall it is a solid beer.
