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.)

A gift from my buddy Ross, thanks man! Pours out a copper colored orange with a light orange and thick head. Aroma is very citrusy and pine, a weird tingle occured in my nose when I smelled this and I enjoyed it. Once you take a sip of this brew, caramel and biscuit flavors come out due to the malts as well as a touch of brown sugar. Hold on though, because soon after your pallate takes a smack of piney hops in this roller coaster of a beer. Not the best IIPA I’ve had but I would certainly have this again if offered. Well done Breckenridge!!!!

BIG sweet hoppiness!! Simple enough right? Very sweet grapefruit notes throughout...my palate and these type of IPAs just do not agree....hop heads rejoice!

on tap at Taco Mac (John’s Creek). deep golden color with minimal head. slight hoppy/apricot aromas (wish the aromas were a bit stronger). medium body, hoppy and full of apricot and some peach. More fruity than your typical IIPA. An excellent brew, but wish the hops came through a bit more...

Pours clear orange-gold with a minimal white head. Biscuits, oranges, grapefruit, and caramel in the nose. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet grapefruit hops up front that move into a resiny bitterness. A caramel/candy sugar-like sweetness follows, which gets somewhat unpleasant towards the end. Seems to emmulate Lagunitas’ Maximus in the sweetness. I wanted more hop bite, but this was still good.

Bottle Amber orange pour with decent size quick dying head. Grassy floral hop aroma. Flavor starts somewhat sweet and finishes with a complex hop profile. Great brew!

Bottle. Pours an orange color with a white head. Plenty of hop smell, grass, pine, straw, oranges, citrus, really good smell actually. Tastes smooth and bitter, easy to drink yet it will put a huge kick on your ass if you drink them too quickly. Pine and resiny flavor loaded with hops, you can almost chew this one. Damn good stuff actually.
