Medina Supercereal is a multi-grain Hazy IPA that marries a complex grist of barley, wheat, rye, and oats with vibrant citrus hop character. The visual presentation is characteristically turbid, supporting a sensory profile defined by high-intensity citrus notes and the distinctive banana esters of a wheat yeast strain. This interaction creates a unique experience where bready, grainy malt foundations meet punchy fruitiness. The inclusion of oats and wheat provides a notably creamy, plush texture, leading to a long, smooth finish that balances hop-derived citrus oils with the soft, subtle spicy undertones of the rye grain.
Appearance.Straw to light gold (4-5 SRM). Opaque, hazy clarity with a characteristic shine; thick, meringue-like white head with high retention and dense lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aroma featuring dominant citrus hop notes of grapefruit and orange zest. This is layered with prominent banana and light ester qualities from the wheat yeast. Background notes of bready wheat and grainy malt are present without any toasted or caramel character.
Taste.Initial impression is high fruity hop flavor, specifically citrus and tropical notes, followed by a soft, bready malt presence from the wheat and oats. The fermentation profile contributes a noticeable banana-like fruitiness that supports the hops. Perceived bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, leading to a smooth, off-dry finish with a lingering cereal-grain aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a silkiness and creamy texture derived from the heavy use of flaked grains. Moderate carbonation. Very smooth with no harshness or hop-derived astringency; very light alcohol warmth.
