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.

1. Total lawnmower-party; but 2. too much bitterness for taste trade-offs, while reinforcing both 3. my view of Founders as being tremendous for malt ales but mediocre on the IPA spectrum, and 4. the truth that more ingredients isn’t always better.
