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.)

pours a hazy orange honey color with a thin whitish head. aromas of caramel/brown sugar, citrus hops and breakfast cereal like grains. super malty flavor with orange and dry? hops. more malt than hops...crisp hoppy finish with a lingering honey aftertaste. creamy mouth feel bordering sticky/cloying. 9.2% is unnoticed.

This one is new to the ATL and am i glad to have a chance to have this one. Great grapefruit, citrus, and pine aromas. Flavor of green apples, bitter grapefruit, and slight hoppy metallic experience. Very smooth for a double and not a sugary sweet bomb. Liking this one.

The beer pours a clear honey yellow with a modest bright white creamy head that lingers more than most, as it fades away; the lacing provides an occluding curtain upon the glass. Nose has a rich malt sweetness, the hops pine like, hints of lime, clean and fresh to the olfactory sense, start has a decent malt presence; the hops counteract the sweetness with the top medium in its feel. Finish has a brisk acidity, the hops spicy and refreshing, aftertaste taste is dry and pleasant, a nice treat for the palate.

Powerful IPA. Taste is citrusy, hops present, but overall, I feel this beer is very smooth (especially considering the alcohol content). Color is copper. VERY hoppy aroma. Everyone of my friends that I’ve had try this have been equally as impressed (and most of them aren’t "beer" drinkers). A must have, or at least try, for anyone who likes IPA’s.

Pours a coppery golden color into the glass with an ippediate hoppy aroma that the 9.2% ABV comes out in. Smells hoppy and citrusy... like grapefruit. The flavor is of grapefruit and hop and, once again, the high alcohol content is also present. The grapefruit flavor also sticks with you for a while after drinking. 12 oz. bottle.

Rich gorgeous shade of amber, with a light off white head. Smell is big and grapefruity right off the bat. Like grapefruit syrup. Citrusy, honey tones and some grainy malt. Taste is pungent, hoppy, bitter, but well within a nice drinkable limit for a double IPA. More fruity bitterness than astringency which is nice. A quick clean finished, and balances even more and sweetens up a bit as it warms. A very nice double IPA, and perhaps my favorite.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a wonderfully clear gold. Thin, white head. Aroma of citrus, orange peel. Nicely bitter hops hit you from the first sip. Some piney hints, grass. As the beer opens up, the alcohol comes out to play. Good beer.
