Description

(General AA range 6-7%) A brand new hop with crisp flavors of lemon, mixed berry, and tropical fruit. The really unique thing about this hop that commercial brewers are reporting, is that when used with other hops Meridian pushes and complements the flavor of those hops in unique and interesting ways. We've learned from many brewers, hop specialists, and our own palates that blending hops is like blending wine - the final blended flavor is definitely different than the individual flavors. So try it ala carte in your next Belgian Pale or Blonde Ale and use it with your favorite IPA hops in your next hop bomb!

Our Meridian is grown by Gayle Goschie on her family's century old farm in the Willamette Valley and processed nearby by Indie Hops. Indie Hops has installed a new pellet mill with craft brewing in mind. Their pellets have more particulate matter left in place and are processed at a lower temperature to retain more of the oils.  

Besides amazing flavor, Meridian has a great story. Indie was working with a local Hop Breeding Program to select a unique hop they thought was Columbia, a long lost and close sister of Willamette. After planting and harvesting the aromas and flavors were so radically different than Willamette that they had it tested. The results came back... and it was not Columiba, but a new unknown hop which they named Meridian.

Not good for NEIPA
Added some to a NEIPA, big mistake. Meridian gave the beer a slightly minty taste which just doesn't go well.

Most underrated new hop
I am confused as to why this hop hasn't exploded in popularity like Citra and Mosaic. It has amazing aromatic/flavor qualities. It's a bit like Centennial in that it's lemony and floral, but it adds a mixed berry flavor that is completely unique. This is perfect for American Wheat, APA, IPA, American Barleywine and could be used in smaller amounts in German and Belgian ales.

Amazing
Great hop. Used it in a single hop batch and it was one of the best brews I've tasted. Used 2Lbs honey and fermented at 67*, smelled just like banana runts

great hop
Used in my imperial red combined with citra for bittering and aroma. Came out so great and unlike any other brew i have ever tasted. I am getting compliments from everyone that tries
