A chance discovery in 2011, this hop was accidentally grown by Indie Hops at Goschie Farms, Oregon, when they were trying to recreate and grow Columbia hops, which itself descends from the Willamette hop.
The Meridian hop has aromas that include citrus (lemon), mixed berry, tropical fruit, and spearmint. This hop can also be combined with more aggressive hops in IPAs to brighten the overall impression of the beer and lend a seductive finish.
