Hoppy? Brother, 471 IPA redefines hoppy. 471 is a small batch, limited edition ale that was created by our Brewmaster to separate the weak from the strong. 471 is a double IPA, that combines Pale, Munich, Caramel-30, Carapils and Torrified Wheat malts, with Chinook, Centennial, Simcoe and Fuggles hops. It has a big sweet mouthfeel, followed by more hoppiness than you've ever had at one time. Enjoy

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Brown-orange pour with a medium head. Very strong citrus, pine, grassy spicy hop aroma. Taste is strong citrus hops with a sweet background and a hint of vanilla. Kinda like biting into a tangerine. I like this one.

Pours with a thick, slightly off-white head. Hazy golden-orange colored body. Aroma is of beautiful floral hops, toffee, and cinnamon. Thick lacing. Nice, sweet taste that shifts to a slightly salty bitterness. Sort of a fruity flavor to it. The transition between sweetness, bitterness and alcohol isn’t as smooth as some other IIPA/DIPA’s that I have had. Creamy mouthfeel with some lively bubbles. Still feeling this a bit the next day.

Sampled from a 12oz bottle. Pours an amber-color with a white head. Aroma is a hoppy, citrus, floral one. Flavor is a nice hope, malt, and slight bitterness to it. Alcohol is pretty well masked.

12oz bottle. Amber-orange color, relatively transparent. Sweet and fresh hop aroma. Taste is full of hoppy bitterness and malt sweetness. The alcohol is clearly there but never dominates or overwhelms. The hoppy taste is very complex, not just a cascade monstrosity. A great beer for the hopheads.

bottle - Pours copper with a medium sized lingering head. It has a great citrus hops aroma. The flavor is big on the hops as expected and has enough malt to hold up to it fairly well. Medium bodied and strong, it’s not the best double IPA I’ve had, but it’s enjoyable. Admittedly I’m a big fan of the style.

Clear golden body with a small, off-white head. Aroma is sweet with notes of floral, grapefruit and caramel. Nice mix of floral and citrus hops. Flavor is mostly sweet with bitter finish. Medium body and somewhat watery texture. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol comes through somewhat in the finish, though it’s well hidden. Solid, tasty double IPA though not very complex. Still, the best offering I’ve had from this brewery.

Bottled (thanks kenb!). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is flowery and fruity hops. Flavour is grassy, fruity and slightly caramelly malty. A really pleasant Double IPA, which hides the alcohol really well (if it really is 9.2%!)

Bomber pours out deep clear gold with one inch off white head. The aroma has a pine hop and big earthy component to go along with an undercurrent of malty sweetness. The taste begins with sweet slightly roasted malts and a wide load of earthiness. Then the pine hop bitterness intercedes. These several flavor notes mingle for a while as the finish of the beer taste approaches. Near the finish the pine hop bitterness takes control of the flavor and struts its way into the after taste. This beer has an above average viscous mouth feel that goes well with the style. Lots of lacing was left clinging to my tall Stone IPA tulip glass.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Aroma of lychee and grapefruit with a whiff of smoke. Medium bodied and very hop aromtic. Completely domianted by the hops. These are supported by rounded maltiness offering some vanilla to the ho salad. The finish is bitter, but not to the levels you’d expect after the aroma. Compex? No. Tasty? H*ll yes!"
