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.

Dipa, pretty smooth. Non hazy, little amber mixed into it as color.

Definitely East Coast tasting. Now that I live on the East Coast I need to get used to it? I don't think that will happen.

Taste: Hoppy deliciousness, both smooth and bitter. Yum!

Maltiest IPA I’ve had. Works well. Really good. Better luck next time, Founders (on making a beer I dislike).

Founders never seems to disappoint! Solid hazy with a stout backbone of hoppy piney goodness that giants mashed into a semi-crushable juice that we mortals may sample.

Not bad for an IPA. The higher abv makes it a little less bitter.
