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.

Malty as all getout. Which is just right for an imperial. Very smooth, balanced, hard to put down. Good horsepower, extremely drinkable. Earthy hops, dark fruit notes. Terrific beer.
