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.

Floral, citrus, & piney with great mouth feel and substantial malt. This one is a special imperial IPA that clocks in at 9.2%. Another winner from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

It must be better in a bottle... Strong malts and rough aftertaste = not for me!
