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.

Body, flavors, and overall presence of a DIPA. Thicker mouthfeel, slightly sweet malt presence, hint of fruit, and balanced hops. I would have preferred it a little cooler, but very good nonetheless.

Citrus and floral notes in aroma. Grapefruit and pine along with malt sweetness up front. Finishes with bitterness and more citrus. Late checkin.

Said I would look for it next time and I found it. Hoppy piney malty with nice bitter finish. Less malty sweetness and more hoppy version of Redankulous. I miss that one. Delicious and easy drinking for ABV.

Whoa. This beer is pretty much what I was hoping it'd be. Huge hop-gushing mouthfeel on this which is quite unlike anything I've had before. Like opening a floodgate. Bitter and balanced and bright. Hits hard like a hammer at 9.2% ABV. Trying to (cont.)
