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.

Haven’t had a Founders brew in many moons. Big but not boozy. Great balance of hops and malt.

Nice throwback to the bitter IPA days. Pretty resinous/piney with a pronounced malty sweetness. Just not my jam these days.

Nice amber color. Bitter, but not bracingly so (minus one point). Not boozy or particularly sweet; well balanced.

Another hype/legend type beer checked. Extremely balanced. Malty and hoppy and bitter, but smooth as the transition of hotness between Reese Witherspoon and her daughter. Seamless. Happy Easter 🐣🐰🐇
