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.

Gelukkig hoefde ik niet het 4-pack te kopen. Lekker droog en sappig. Vrij moutig. Blijft droog in de mond.

Een hele complexe imperial pale ale. Citrus, hars en aromatisch, met een behoorlijke bitterheid.

Keeping it rolling on the Michigan tip. A nice imperial IPA with a great sweet/bitter balance, but has a bit too much going on for its own good...

Mmm this is pretty good. A little on the malty side for me, but not too much. Better for the non-hops lovers. That said this is still a quite good imperial.

Morgen weer de giant in de sportschool uithangen. Nu nog aan het bier. Iets te sterk wat mij betreft, wel lekkere afsluiter

Poee, zware IPA. Smaak van rogge komt hier naar voren. Voor een 9+% bier vind ik deze goed te drinken. Zwaar, bitter en zoet. Erg lekker. Lekkerder dan andere ipaatjes? Nee, dat niet. Maar alsnog een erg goeie! Proost!

Didn’t drink it now but my boy Diego bought it and I forgot to check in to it when I did drink it, solid hazy ipa.

FANTASTIC IPA. Very American without showing off or using a gimmick. Excellent hop profile, refined taste and finish. Perfect head and gorgeous nose that is floral, but not too floral. I think that I have a new favorite to add to the list.

I have come to expect more from Founders barrel-aged and imperial products, like CBS, KBS, Double Trouble, and my favorite, Devil Dancer (bring it back). This product is mediocre compared to those. It's good, but that doesn't cut it for top shelf anymore.

Eh! Founders is an amazing brewery. Rarely disappointed with their beer. This one's not bad, but it's not good either. Not what I expected from these guys.

Bold with a deep hop bitterness and zip, would be fantastic with a dense meal and a cigar!
