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.

Finished a four pack of this (not in one sitting) and neglected to check any of them in. It was good and a nice break from hazy IPAs.

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.

Thanks Andrew! It's big with an assertive hop presence. Caramel malt and age hide some of the hop flavor.

Light citrus and strong hoppy nose with a hoppy and light honey taste. Long finish that coats your tongue.
