4 Giants IPA

IPA - Imperial / Double

We’ve made a lot of imperial IPAs over the years and, in turn, have had a lot of arguments over which one is the absolute best. So, to settle this once and for all, our brewers mashed up four of our favorite recipes into the ultimate imperial IPA. 4 Giants boasts aggressive bitterness balanced by a malty, sweet backbone while huge aromatics come courtesy of the seven American hop varieties.

Incredibly hoppy for the style. Malt tries to catch up

So, old school, West Coast style in my opinion. At $11/4 pk and 9%+ you can't beat the value.

Not bad for an IPA. The higher abv makes it a little less bitter.

Founders never seems to disappoint! Solid hazy with a stout backbone of hoppy piney goodness that giants mashed into a semi-crushable juice that we mortals may sample.

Maltiest IPA I’ve had. Works well. Really good. Better luck next time, Founders (on making a beer I dislike).

Definitely East Coast tasting. Now that I live on the East Coast I need to get used to it? I don't think that will happen.
