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.

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

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

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.

Catching up on some checkins. Had this a while back. Not overly impressed at first. This one was truly one of those beers that got more flavorful as it warmed up. Actually, from Total Wine in Spokane.

Boozy yet smooth. The hops are there but are eclipsed by the 9.7 ABV
