Le Merle

Le Merle (the Blackbird) suggests an image that somehow seems appropriate for this subtle, sophisticated Belgian-style Saison beer. It has been described by Michael Jackson as “More than a serious beer – it is outstanding….Dizzying, appetizing, refreshing.”. For all she has contributed since the brewery’s founding, North Coast is pleased to honor our Merle, Brewmaster Mark Ruedrich’s wife, with Le Merle.
Belgian Style Farmhouse Ale
Le Merle is a rustic ale, pale in color, inspired by the rich brewing traditions of the Flanders region. Abundant hops and a Belgian yeast strain contribute exotic aromas of tropical fruit.
