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.

Beautiful color. Mellow hops and malt on the nose. Smooth caramely finish, sweetness cuts down the booziness. Real good

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

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.

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