Description
Gigantic Brewing Company is an independent, crafty brewery located in the Southeast quadrant of the Peoples Republic of Portland. Brewer/Owners Ben Love and Van Havig are veterans of the Oregon brewing community.

At Gigantic we only do two things: make the best damn IPA in Portland, Oregon and produce seasonal, exciting, flavorful beers, most of which will be brewed only once. Our goal is simultaneously to create new interpretations of classic styles and to ignore those same style guidelines completely and brew whatever our creative natures produce.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is rather citrus with a good bit of pine. Or maybe resin. Or both. Dry and bitter. Detectable pale malt support. Nice IPA.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours orange tinged gold with a largeish white head. Aroma is citrus/pine. Med body. Flavor is citrus/pine. Almost needles. Dry and decently bitter. Very nice flavor. There is some malt, but sufficiently suppressed. Just enough to support the large amount of hop.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours translucent gold with a good white head. Aroma is spicy with floral. Not getting grassy. Med body or nearly. Foamy carbonation in the mouth. There's a bit of bready malt supporting a nice level of spice and floral still seems present. Towards dry and moderately bitter. Well balanced. Nice pils.
