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.

Pretty wild that you don’t taste the alcohol very much with an ABV this big. Nice hoppy front end good aroma the finish is almost like malort bitter, floral, herbal, and sweet which I’m not a fan of, would dig if it had a crisp finish

Malty, hoppy, sweet, candied citrus, notes of pine. This is what a DIPA tasted like 10+ years ago. Retro AF. Packs a punch. Diggin’ it. 3.85

Malty AF, thank you MI for representing, and for dropping the malt MOAB on us - backed up with hop. If paired with a salty dish (highly seasoned steak), it’s a malt forward IIPA - and who does that? Founders. Check yourself before wriggety-wreck yoself.
