    Anyone brewed a single hop or SMaSH beer using Meridian? I know next to nothing about it and had never used it until my current batch which has it combined with Azacca, Huell Melon, and Mandarina. I always smell the hop pellets in the package before they go in the fermenter and the Meridian had a wonderful fruity smell, almost peachy apricot. I'm tempted to use it solo in a future batch but in not sure what to expect.
    Thoughts?

    I used Meridian in an IPA last year. I found it very mild and not living up to the hype.

    Same here. I liked the beer, but the hop was not interesting. I did an all meridian ne style pale ale.

    Thanks for the feedback. The pellets smelled so good in the package it really caught my attention but maybe it's not a good choice by itself.
