Continuing our line of beers combining oak with different dry hop varieties like Jean-Michel and Gus, Wren showcases an exciting hop we haven’t yet employed in other saisons.

This lot of Meridian from Crosby Hops was speaking to us to be the focus of a beer, presenting sharply defined Meyer lemon and fruit punch notes. After blending some of our hoppy oak-aged stock ales, we introduced this new world variety as a hardy dry hop addition to highlight these bright, expressive notes.

We’re getting some tropical notes, citrus, and a slight hit of wintergreen followed by a crisp and dry finish. Wren marries the elegance of a rounded oak-aged beer with a refreshing, clean quality fit for these warm late summer months.
