COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Hoppy? Brother, 471 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. (Available at Breckenridge Pubs and Restaurants and bottled as 471 Small Batch Double Hopped IPA.)

Sampled in a bomber. A big IPA with a great amount of hops. Pours with big head on it and lots of carbonation. Great brew.

This is one of my favorite IPA’s. It is a high alcohol beer, but it manages to stay bitter and not sweet. I have never had it on tap, but bottle to pint glass never disappoints me. Try it!

Bottle to pint glass. Pours hazy golden with modest white head. Major hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Flavor follows the nose, very hoppy, bit of alcohol with a bitter hoppy aftertaste (in a good way). Medium body, balanced carbonation. Nice lacing left on glass. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. Pours hazy copper with thin white head; good retention and lacing. Aroma is biscuit malt, spice, with floral and citrus hops. Flavor is slight malt then dominated by floral and citrus hops/bitterness; light fruit esters and some pine notes. Medium body, carbonation, and warmth.

12 oz bottle. For an iipa, I was a bit disappointed in the aroma, definitely lacking that citrus hoppy smell. Something very strange about it. However, the flavor is much better. Nicely balanced sweetness with bitterness. I wished for a bigger hop bite in the finish. I was definitely surprised to see the 9.2% abv, it is well hidden. Overall, not too bad.

What ever, I get sick of big ratings for big beer. Most of these people are so shallow and transparent. YEAH, It’s a high alcohol, that don’t make it better. It has all the typical features of an IPA but the aroma and flavor is carrying an odd chemical note that I can’t put my finger on? Also the bitter after taste is a bit raunchy and lingers. Not the bad raunchy like spoiled just not pleasing.

A very ugly-looking deep golden, slight amber brew. Good frothy head, but tons and tons of sediment. Big floral nose. Flavor is hoppy but very sweet with the honey malts. Body is rather on the light side though and quaffable. This one has too many flaws for me though.

Hazy golden orange with a thin white head. Very little effervescence. Sticky full body with medium-high carbonation.

Aroma: bready pale malt, citrusy piney hops, and alcohol.

Taste: sweet toffee malts, sweet orange-blossom piney hops, some alcohol, and some yeast esters.
