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.)

Bottle pours out amber topped with a off white head. Aroma of malts and floral hops. Tast of tough grapefruit. Plenty bitterness on the top and end. Not bad. thanks Pinkzambia

poured from a 22oz bomber. citrus in the nose from the hops. smell and taste are more on the hoppu than malty side, but in decent balance. hazy light copper with decent lacing. when I taste this beer I get a slight burning sensation in my nose, like pool water chlorine. Overall a nice IPA, but I would prefer my Bell’s.

Draft sample at Breckenridge at the Ballpark, Denver, CO on 8/12/08. Pours orange with white head. Nose is pine, grapefruit, resiny sugary caramel. Taste is caramel and moderate bitter with pine and grapefruit hop flavors. Not bad.

Sweet for an IPA. Poured light amber with a medium cream head. Very palatable with a floral mid and finish. Definitely a brew worth going back to!

Clear, light amber color with a decent head that receded quickly. Aroma was very strong on the floral hops and had a slight hint of smoke. I thought the taste was way too strong with the floral flavor. I felt like I was drinking potpourri.

So, I picked this up as part of my random six pack, completely at random, and I am so glad I did! This pours a medium hazy orange with an offwhite head. The aroma is almost like sugary hops with some piney notes. The flavor follows obediently with initial notes of citrus and a sweet finish. Fantastic 1st impression from Breckenridge.

Overall, a solid "B". Tastes more like a IPA than a Double IPA, but doesn’t really taste bad...just weakish. Nice piney and creamy hops going on. Good floral aroma, good balanced flavor. Refreshing on the palate. I really liked the citrus fruit flavors that were waiting around on the backend. Very, very good brew, just can’t rank it higher with so many better ones out there.

12 oz bottle. Pours slightly golden orange with a nice dense off-white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus and grassy hops, and a little honey. Flavors of grapefruit hops, caramel, solid bitterness. A little more grassy hops and sweetness come through when it starts to warm up. Pretty good beer, but it’s not quite on the level of a really good IIPA. Was enjoying it until the dog came along to knock the last 4 oz or so on the floor.
