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.

On tap at Loyal Legion - PDX, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has gentle dank hops, pine, and biscuity malt to back. Flavour is pretty dank, with piney hops, gentle citrus, light grass, and crisp biscuity malt. Real nice hop expresion, finishing piney, bitter and crisp. Excellent.

Aroma of toasted malts, tobacco, coffee, hint of dark chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet with a moderate bitter finish. I wouldn’t say this is thin, but it’s not particularly full-bodied either. It’s a bit on the sweet side. And where’s the Saison yeast?

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity, citrus, Belgian saison yeast, malt, touch of bubblegum. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. More like a strong american Saison. Anyway, it’s pretty good.
