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.)

12oz bottle. Pours amber/orange with a small head. Spare lacing. Aroma of citrus and pine. Taste has a little more ’balance’, with a bit of caramel. Slightly oily texture. Run of the mill IIPA.

22 Bottle: Aroma is lighter hopped than I’m used to in a Imperial IPA. Grapefruit, spices, decent hops scents. Appearance is a amber/orange clear color with a big rocky white head that lasts. Flavor is definate decent hop characteristics with the usual Imperial IPA bells and whistles. Overall, It’s not going to blow you away Double IPA, but its definitely a good brew. Not stellar but it will need a revisit.

Nice orange color with a long lasting white head. Very hoppy aroma. The flavor was quite smokey, which I quite enjoyed. Pretty standard hoppiness aside from that.

22 oz. bomber bottle. MGM in MN. Great DIPA excellent cloudy orange in color. MASSIVE thick white head and extreme lacing. aroma was sweet and piney just magical. Although i prefer single IPA’s due to the more unrefined HOPP BURN. though this might be my fav DIPA next to GD hercules. with a bit more HOP BURN id really love this but as is a great DIPA very strong grapefruit bitternes that lasts LONG and strong on the palate. GREAT BEER BOYS! OH also the 9.2 abv is no where in the taste again NICE JOB

(Bottle) Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma of hops and some sweet citrus. Taste is similar, but not as hoppy as I expected. The mouthfeel was pretty good. This beer is good, but could have been better with a couple of small changes.

Bottle. Pour is a hazy, sunset orange. Aroma is hop, with some lemons and limes. Taste is quite a bit of hop, though not really in a traditional IPA taste. Almost tasted like a big hopped APA to me. Regardless, nice beer that was well put together.

Hazy orangey with an initial foamy head. Orange citrus aroma and taste. Quite smooth, and decent mouthfeel. Well malted for its true style. Satisfying, with 9.2% well hidden. Good mouthfeel and carbonation.

I really enjoyed this one. Very tasty malts and seemed (to me) to be a little bit lighter on the hops than I expected. Especially loved the painted bottle!
