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.

Not great for me. High IBU, not my thing.

This one has a lot going on. But clocking in at 9.2%, it should. Smells strong and sweet. Strong, hoppy, malty, and bitter. Notes of pine and citrus balance this one out nicely. Smooth and tasty.

So big. So bold. So strong. So tall. Drinking this feels like I’m getting pounded by four very strong creatures. I guess the name is fitting. I read something that said incidents of liver disease are up among millennials. Beers like this explain it all.

Strong IPA. West coast style with a medium to full body and a full bodied bitter but sweet finish

Blend of the 4 giants, aka the 4 Founders flagship IPAs. It’s okay, neat concept, so-so execution. But, hey, I’m in W Michigan, so there’s that.

Tastes like Friday... real good, clean, smooth with a touch of hop at the end. This will get me where I need to be.

Very, very hoppy. Probably the most aggressively hopped beer I have had. The gold to amber color is very deep and visible in the foam.
