    Last night I opened my first bottle of Hercules Double IPA and I couldn't help but get a little of a metallic taste in my mouth? I was really disappointed, because I recently had the chocolate oak aged Yeti and it was amazing. Is it supposed to have a little metallic flavor or not? If not what could have made it taste like that? I thought maybe it was my glass at first, but I then tried another glass and then even straight out of the bottle and I still got that metal taste and ended up pouring it down the drain.

    It could just be my mind playing tricks on me but I remember mine having a slightly metallic taste too. I didn't think too much of it though because my bottle was about 3 months old at the time.

    was expecting this beer to be a lot better than it was

    Thank you all. You've give me an excuse to buy some and try it again.

    It has been awhile since i have had this, but I don't recall any metallic flavors. I'll have to check my notes when I get home. I do remember not being a fan of this beer though.
