I thought that the original 4 Giants was a great throwback IPA. This variation, by contrast, seems to be an attempt to cash in on the "haze craze."

The nose is dank and grainy. I'm not getting much fruit. The flavor profile is earthy and floral with a touch of orange citrus. The finish has a modest bitterness.

 

 

From a can produced 3/27/23. Cloudy orange with a thin layer of white head. Smells of orange and a light floral bitterness. Medium body. Orange and grapefruit flavor with a lingering floral bitterness. Hides the ABV well.

 

From a 567 ml can dated 10/26/22. Sampled May 17, 2023.

It pours medium amber-orange under a large white head with a hazy, murky appearance.

An array of sweet and happy aromas. I note bread, cereal grain, pine, grapefruit and dank sensations with no alcohol.

Medium to full mouthfeel

This really begins sweet and bready making it somewhat unique to the style with those pine and dank hops lingering moderately at the end.
