Mettle was originally brewed to celebrate the spirit of tenacity and camaraderie that our team displayed throughout our first year in business. Six years later, as we stand eye-to-eye with our toughest challenge yet, our resolve is tested yet again. After pausing draft service at all of our locations, we've gotten creative and resourceful with the variety of fresh, hoppy beer that would have been destined for kegs.

Pouring the color of honey with a fluffy white head, Mettle Alloy Batch 5 offers classic citrus-meets-tropical Trillium Double IPA aromas. Orange peel, grapefruit zest, and juicy melon greet the nose first, with pineapple gummy, bright mango, and a touch of peach rounding out the flavor experience. These saturated fruit-forward notes lay wonderfully atop a soft, medium-body, and pleasantly coating mouthfeel.

Pours cloudy opaque gold with a creamy white foam head. Smells pungent, stanky and danky with fresh tropical citrus, orange peel, grapefruit zest, melon, candied pineapple, peach, mango, durian, some caramelized malt, with dank resinous floral earthy herbal grassy pine. Tastes like tropical citrus fruit, orange peel, grapefruit zest, juicy melon, pineapple gummy, mango, peach, caramelized malts, some black peppery spice, with dank floral resinous earthy herbal grassy pine. Feels medium-full bodied, creamy with moderate smooth carbonation. Overall a real nice Double IPA.
