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.

Hoppy and malty. Pretty much what you'd expect from an Imperial. It's good, but not great.

Nice amber color. Bitter, but not bracingly so (minus one point). Not boozy or particularly sweet; well balanced.
