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.

It is increasingly interesting to have a classic American IPA. It has one of those mystery hops I'm not wild about (I doubt very seriously its skunked from Wegman's...). But even so, it's still pretty good. A rich, classic AIPA

Sweeter and maltier than I expected. A good blend of hops and very full flavored.

A bit dated. Lost about 4oz when opening it, but decent west coast.

Whoa… this one Is DANGEROUS. Hoppy and dank with a malty sweet finish. Definitely smoother than you’d expect from a 9.2% ABV. Killer beer… but then again, it’s Founders, so of course it is…

Not my cup of beer. No real after taste, but I didn't care for the punch in the face of flavor once it first hits your tongue.
