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.)

12 oz. bottle. Decent IIPA, but not the best by a long shot. Pours a slightly yeasty orange/red with little head. Aroma is somewhat muted, mostly on flowery hops and with some sweetish malt coming through. Flavor is more in line, with a nice, citrus and pine hop attack, followed by some cereally malt in the middle, and a good, bitter, acidic finish that lasts for a fair time. Palate is medium.

Compliments of our beer Pimp Brian, shared with uncle Steve, the Hop Prince3 celticbrew, and the Lord of the lagers, Drbayern. Poured a dark yellow with a nice, thick, lacy head. Aroma was a citrus hop and the mouth feel was thick. It made for an easy drinking beer as it coated your mouth. Nice hops taste, with a wonderful bittering hop on the backside.

Golden amber with a lacing head. Not much of an aroma from my pour. Flavor though was excellent. Very malty start with a big hop end. Finishes very dry with a good bit of an alcohol bite.

Bottle from The Foodery, 10th Street Philadelphia. Aroma quite gentle. Very sweet, balanced, very smooth, hops come on gradually and forcefully, but pleasantly. Fruity. Not bad.

Cloudy orange appearance with a hoppy spice and citrus aroma. Lightly sweet initial flavor with a long hop finish. Plus a high ABV makes this a very good IPA.

Bottle. Yeasty bready aroma, pouring dark orange with a finger head. Wow. Lots going on in this beer. Such a mix of flavors its hard to nail any one. Some malt, hops bread,spice, pine.....the list goes on. Has a cloying sweetness on the back of the palate thats not very good. Some candied fruit flavors abound there too. Too much going on to call this very good...stop adding shit to the beer that doesnt belong, Mr. Brewer.

Caramel and orange aroma, slightly yeasty. Cloudy golden with medium yellow sticky head. Full stinging mouthfeel, resinous generic bitterness. Obvious high alcohol content. Bittersweet horehound, other hard candies, yeast, and rotten oranges. There’s a lot happening, but I wasn’t able to find enjoyment in much of it.
