Can picked up from Shiny Brewery Tap, Little Eaton, Derbyshire, Tuesday 3rd December 2024 had this at Dad's in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours milky yellow with a sticky white white head. The description suggests tropical fruit with hints of spearmint and lime but not sure I am totally picking that up, but there is a cleanness and it's very interesting, smooth. Nice.

A fairly hazy gold beer, small but tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a light and semi dry creamy sweetness. Meridian hops! Been a few months and all of a sudden, I remember why I was seeking beers out with this rather spiffing new hop. Juicy orange and mandarin citrus with a good bright lemon vibe, bright and fruity and never ever acid. So, this could be a description for Azacca but what sets Meridian apart is that fairly clear and pretty unique Spearmint vibe, it really comes throughout on the back end. Modest ripe berries and tropical fruits really don't hurt either. Guava, lychee, a little ripe strawberry and blueberry. Light finish lets some cooling pine come through. Easily the best Meridian brew I have had. When used properly, this hop can mix it with the best. Lovely IPA brewed with a lovely new hop.
