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 Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a moderate dark tan head that didn't persist for long. Aroma of coffee and dark malt. Med body. Fairly dry and chilies for bitter. Cinnamon is detectable when the chillies wear off. Some chocolate finally works its way out of the chillies. It's not that the chillies are terribly strong, just very distracting. Tasty stuff.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Hazy, honey gold pour. Large, pillowy white head. Great lacing. Fragrant tropical fruit aroma hints at mango and melon. Flavor leans toward juicy citrus and resiny pine. There is an obvious West Coast IPA vibe here, but it is tempered by an innate juiciness and dry finish.
