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.)

Bottled. Orange with beige to white, closer to white head. Aroma is fruity sweet hops. The flavor is a cannon shot of explosive sweet hops and a malt variety mainly caramel. Not balanced sweet hop goes to bitter wet and lasting finish. i notice grapefruit at end. Fun brew. Great brew but taste gets tiring because they are SO explosive

On tap at Gingerman Fort Worth. A creamy IPA? Not too much aroma. Great hoppy taste.

Hazy copper color with creamy head that retains well. Very aromatic with creamsickle orange in the nose. A slight herbal/vegetal hop green-ness in the nose too. Palate is heavily skewed towards the hops & accompanying citrus. Not a lot of malt to round it out. Medium or perhaps fuller bodied than many IPA’s - and nicely "chewy" in a way.

Sweet aroma with some citrus and floral notes. Hop bitterness pervades throughout.

Bomber from the Village Market into glass. Poured an orangey amber with a little off-white head. The smell was slight, warm and a little piney. The flavor felt very watered down for a "double hopped, DIPA" and was more malty than hoppy to me. A little bitter in the finish over the palate. A smooth drinker but I’m still disappointed about the lack of hops in this one.

Sleek 12oz bottle courtesy Cavie poured elegantly into a snifter. The pour is hazy orange... almost orange like a crayon but a bit darker - kinda creepy... and a moderate white head to boot. A pretty tame aroma of sweet bread, a touch of citrus hops, and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is somewhat tame as well - sweet and malty with a touch of orange peel and crackers... not much of the hops except the dry hinting at bitter finish. The mouthfeel is pretty hefty but with good carbonation.

Clear bronze pour with a nice white head, good retention and decent looking lace. Aroma is floral hops, citrus, slightly peachy. Flavor is spicy at the beginning, then sweet, bitter finish. Pine, caramel. Medium body with a smoothness to it, moderate low carbonation and slight alcohol warming at the end. A decent IIPA.
