Brewed to test the Mettle of our loyal hopheads, this dank, full-bodied double IPA features intense dual additions of Amarillo and Galaxy. Bright aromatics of peach and nectarine fuse with flavors of tropical fruit and grapefruit on the palate. Accents of pine, resinous hop, and a clean bitterness reveal themselves on a smooth, dry finish.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy golden with a sturdy white head. The aroma is juicy, fruity, sherbet, candied peel, light soap and passion fruit. The taste is crisp, bitter, juicy, fruity, peachy, sherbet, chalky, resin and candy. Medium body and fine carbonation. Juicy and fruity action. Very nice.

750 ml bottle from the brewery, bottled on August 18, 2014. Hazy straw color with massive head retention. Aroma is rather interesting, herbal as in cooking herbs. Parsley, weak thyme leaves, hints of citrus under that.
Body shows a nice level of juicy citrus hops and the herbal flavor I noticed in the aroma. The 9.3 % does make itself known but only in the way of a warming sensation after the sip. The bitterness is balanced by the way of some grain and sweet malt, so the IBU really isn’t that noticeable. Pretty crushable even considering the larger ABV.
