Feb 17, 2008 Floral and fruity hop over tone. Some bitter under tone to it. Hazy orange/yellowish color, very bitter, amazing. Floral taste. Piney after taste. Bitterness really stays for a while. Very good double ipa.

Feb 13, 2008 22 oz. Have sampled twice in the past, both times in bottles. Pours a lovely golden color. Has that beautiful DIPA aroma that I’ve come to love. I remember this brew being fairly balanced, and not too much kick in the teeth as far as a DIPA goes, which is really nice sometimes! Overall this fits the style, and drinks well!!

Feb 12, 2008 Wow is this IPA great. Just a perfect combination of malt and hops with high alcohol as well. Did not disappoint.
Wonderfully balanced, great mouth and flavor, plus a huge kick in the pants.

Feb 8, 2008 Pours slightly hazy light ambercolor with thin creamy white head. Aroma is clean and hoppy citrus and pine and some sweet bread as well. Flavor has a smooth, even bitterness with lots of pine, toasted malt and a light hint of caramel. Nicely balanced. Creamy texture, medium bodied.

Feb 8, 2008 on tap @ Capone’s, served in a pint glass (2/7/08)
A: A rich rusty copper with a bubbly white 1-finger head. Beautiful clarity and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this much sticky lacing. Very inviting.
S: The only drawback to this beer was that none of the delicious flavors came out in the aromatics. All I got was mild, citrus hops and the barest hint of malt.
T/M: Now THIS is what I want out of a double IPA. This beer snuck up on me with its amazing balance, I kept looking at the glass in awe, and then taking another big gulp. The lip-smacking & mouth-watering that ensued after each swallow made this disappear in a hurry. Biscuity malts blend perfectly with rich, juicy citric hops, delivering an awesomely bitter finish that simply beckons another sip.
D: For all the super-hyped DIPAs out there, this 471 gets no credit amongst the "big boys," but easily stands among them. And 9.2% ABV? Come on, it can’t be! This beer is dangerous.
