In our first year as a brewery, we faced many formidable obstacles that required resilience, tenacity, and camaraderie from our team. To celebrate the sense of spirit exhibited to overcome these difficulties, we brewed Mettle - a Double IPA featuring an intense dry-hop of Amarillo and Citra. In the years since, we've released a few interpretations on that original recipe, from Black Mettle to Death Mettle, but it never received our classic doubly dry-hopped treatment; until now. Increasing our hopping rates to levels that only a select few beers in our portfolio receive, Double Dry-Hopped Mettle pours a gorgeous deep straw color.
Pineapple, mango nectar, peach ring, and citrus zest all come together on the aroma offering a saturated, tropical bouquet. A pillowy, medium-bodied mouthfeel is complemented by a restrained bitterness.
