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.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is mango, lactose, malt, modest hop, vanilla, soft tropical fruit, touch of pine and oats. Flavour is moderate sweet with a modest bitterness. Body is medium, bit creamy from the lactose. Decent, malty, bit fruity. Decent, but not what I turn to Gigantic for.
