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.

Klassisk gammelmanns-IPA, med mye maltsødme, karamell og en heftig bitterhet

When you want an IPA after a good day of accomplishing long awaited tasks... make it a great one. Especially rewarding for making “the phone call” of the day.

A very nice imperial. A nice malt that compliments the hoppyness. A bit "piney" on the front and nose, and a bit boozy(9.2). Yummyness that I am enjoying at home. Thank you Founders!

Woah! Really hoppy. A little bitter for my palate. I’m more of a New England style IPA.

Fantastic IPA, wouldn’t believe the 80 IBU’s if I was you... bitterness is minimum and very well balanced. This one is a creeper.

Another of my favorites. An excellent balance of hops and malt (and a bit of caramel?).

Thick sweet dank maltiness that is balanced against hoppy pine and grapefruit. Resinous with a bitter finish. Lots of deep flavors going on. Great imperial IPA from Founders.

I will admit everything consumed after a Stillwater baseball victory tastes awesome but this is an especially tasty imperial IPA.
