471 IPA Barrel Series is a labor of love. We not only give our 471 Double IPA the luxury of time in whiskey barrels, we follow that stage with a dry hop treatment that features a new hop variety with each release. We've pampered it here, for you to enjoy. With this edition, Simcoe is the star. From bittering to finishing and dry hopping, Simcoe shines. Pine and citrus enhance the aroma and come through in the fresh hop flavor. The abundance of hops are balanced by sweet fullness of malt, lending flavors reminiscent of caramel. These characteristics linger on the palate with flavor from the barrel, warming the tongue until the next sip.
