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.

• 2nd go and 1st on can (4 years ago at The Shamrock Inn) • 4 Giants are: • BIG malty • PINEY • RESINOUS • BOOZY • LOVELY • a wunderschön walk down memory lane with beers like Nøgne Ø #500 and their Two Captains Double IPA. No f*cking haze here!

Classic west coast DIPA imo. Caramel pine sweetness with lots of malty dimensions. Nice deep tropical fruits in the mix, fermenting pineapple is notable. A no brainer for the style.
