4 Giants IPA (2020)

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 didn't mean to age this for 4 years. Oops. Keeping old rating, since this is now a malty mess. No off-flavors, though, thankfully.

An interesting IPA that hunts at citrus but has more of a licorice flavor.

At 9.2 AVB this bad boy knocks it out of the park! An aggressive bitterness balanced by a malty, sweet backbone!

Nice amber color with none of the malt sweetness. Bitter hop bomb the rest of the way. What IPAs used to be back during hop/IBU wars. Thanks for the swap Steve D.

Had this one for a bit, decided it was time to have it. 9.2%! Combined with a general lack of sleep, I am sleepy now. I liked it, though. A little harsh, but still drinkable.

Dark like a west coast, but none of the malt sweetness. Instead just a bitter bomb with no redeeming juice
