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.)

The pour is mildly hazy and light burnt umber in hue. Decent head that slowly recedes. The nose is citrus, hops and a touch of sweetness, that is almost floral. The taste is refined but some what ligher that the nose would have you expect. A little weak on the hops considering this is a double hopped IPA. All and all a decent brew, but there are many on the market around the same price I would try again before this one.

poured from a 22oz bomber. citrus in the nose from the hops. smell and taste are more on the hoppu than malty side, but in decent balance. hazy light copper with decent lacing. when I taste this beer I get a slight burning sensation in my nose, like pool water chlorine. Overall a nice IPA, but I would prefer my Bell’s.

Draft sample at Breckenridge at the Ballpark, Denver, CO on 8/12/08. Pours orange with white head. Nose is pine, grapefruit, resiny sugary caramel. Taste is caramel and moderate bitter with pine and grapefruit hop flavors. Not bad.

Sweet for an IPA. Poured light amber with a medium cream head. Very palatable with a floral mid and finish. Definitely a brew worth going back to!

Clear, light amber color with a decent head that receded quickly. Aroma was very strong on the floral hops and had a slight hint of smoke. I thought the taste was way too strong with the floral flavor. I felt like I was drinking potpourri.

So, I picked this up as part of my random six pack, completely at random, and I am so glad I did! This pours a medium hazy orange with an offwhite head. The aroma is almost like sugary hops with some piney notes. The flavor follows obediently with initial notes of citrus and a sweet finish. Fantastic 1st impression from Breckenridge.
