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.)

From bottle #11 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours hazy orange with lacing white head. Hoppy orange fruity and light woody aroma. Sweet caramel flavour. Wooden and dry hoppy flavour on top. Ends dry hoppy and with a persisting slight sticky caramel sweet flavour.

#11 Bottle [Sk8viking great American blind tasting] Average fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Amber color. Aroma of apricot, grapefruit, citrus, and mild underlying pine. Some toasted malt and toffee. Over the palate came dry bitter hoppy tones. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and dry texture. Moderated bitter flavor with some counter sweetness. Lingering hoppy bitter dry finish. 8 / 3 / 7 / 3 / 15 = 3.6

Smells strongly of sour grapefruit hops with musty alcohol notes. Taste is strong sour citrus hops with slight alcohol bite. Hides the alcohol well. Very tasty IIPA

I have recently been turned on to IPA beers and have enjoyed some. This beer did not blow me away but I did enjoy it.

Pours a hazy orange ruby with a thin, soapy head. Odor of light fruits, prune, and some syrupy malts. Lots of bitter hops in the flavor, which I like. Not much of a malt taste to it, just bitter hops from the beginning to the aftertaste. Just what I want from my DIPAs.

(On tap at Flying Saucer in Austin on July 11, 2008 with Jen) Orange-amber color with steady carbonation and a frothy white head and awesome lacing. Aroma is sweet, floral, and spicy. Flavor bitter and yet sweet… I think Breckenridge was trying to make this an enjoyable drink for non-hop heads. Syrupy. It’s bitter, coats the tongue, but then... the sweetness subdues any painful aftertaste. Without the sweetness it would have been fine, in my opinion, but it would help with any hop aftershock and it does give this beer character. Delicious, really...

Big nose, lovely floral overtones, great bitternes, fine balance, great finish. The hopping was very well done.
