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.

I've liked pretty much everything Founders puts out. A lot of malt in this one, more than I typically like, but still a good one for sure. The hops balances it out.

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!

This is amazing! Terrific idea and it made a delicious beer. Not too hoppy but has a nice bite. Nice floral, citrus and piney taste. Can taste a bit of the strength but man this is mostly a sneak attack!
