Meridian®(an Indie Hops variety)

Meridian

 

Hop Description

A chance discovery in 2011, Meridian delivers a mix of tropical, berry, and citrus fruitiness with a hint of spearmint. A “top note” hop, nice in a saison, wit, or farmhouse, it can also be combined with more aggressive hops in IPAs to brighten the overall impression of the beer.
