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.

Smooth, great balance of hops bitterness and sweet malty base. The high ABV is barely noticeable due to the great balance and flavors. Outstanding!

Sweet hops and a growing maltiness. Bitter and lightly boozy on the finish. Good fruitiness. It’s pretty solid.

Sweet and malty, at times making it seem a bit heavy. Almost Belgiany. But tasty!

Drinking with 201 and 225, CCR in the background, and watching The Big Lebowski. A lil more Tori R. and its a perfect night. This was Founders best IPA yet.

Hoppy and piney, but not too sweet/malty. The 9% sneaks up on you because it's not apparent.
