Mettle

◎ Appearance

Mettle presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is lively without being aggressive, and the beer maintains good lacing as it settles in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit—pineapple, mango, and orange—layered beneath a pronounced dank hoppy character that grounds the aromatics. Resinous and herbal notes emerge beneath the fruit, creating a complex and inviting bouquet that evolves with each nosing.

◐ Taste

Orange and melon enter first on the palate, followed by lighter pineapple notes and a subtle white-pith bitterness that sharpens the mid-palate. The hoppy depth builds steadily without overwhelming the fruit character, and the finish remains clean and dry with a lingering citrus bite.

◑ Finish

The finish is sharp and moderately long, with lingering citrus and a gentle bitterness that fades gracefully. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, leaving no cloying sweetness.
