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.

Resinous? Yep! Slightly sweet? Yep! Balanced malt backbone? Yep! All of the above with a nice bitterness that lingers after that crisp finish. Very well done.

Discovered in a 4-pack at Wegmans. Enjoyed at home on 5th of July after HHI vacation. Perfect conclusion to a great week.

This is what an IPA should taste like. Hoppy and delicious, balanced. Definitely some pine going on along with a bit of citrus. Go Founders...love it when I can get their less known stuff in AZ.

A nice hoppy Imperial IPA. Has notes of pine, citrus and floral. Another good addition that this brewery has to offer. Doesn’t taste super strong, but that can says otherwise. CHEERS!
