“Without sway, there can be no balance.” We’re excited for the return of a true Tröegs modern classic. Behold the wonder… Nimble Giant!
This beautifully balanced Double IPA started life in our small-batch Scratch Series as an experiment with Mosaic hops. After half a dozen test batches, our brewing team struck gold with a hop combination of Mosaic, Simcoe, and Azacca.
“We loved our earliest trials with Mosaic hops,” says our brewmaster John Trogner. “When we started dry-hopping with Mosaic and Simcoe together, we knew we were onto something. After tasting this combo, we latched on and couldn’t let go.”
In the end, Nimble Giant weighs in at 9% ABV and boasts notes of tropical fruit, pine sap, and honeysuckle. Supported by a backbone of pilsner and Vienna malts, this deep orange-hued double IPA is all about the balance between malt and hops.
Over the years, it’s become one of our most sought-after beers and even rivals Mad Elf and Nugget Nectar with the excitement it generates. So, it’s no wonder why Nimble Giant scores an ‘Outstanding’ on BeerAdvocate and consistently hits the top ten trending beers on Untappd upon its release!
Nimble Giant is now available on draft and in 16-oz. cans across our entire distribution footprint. You can find the Giant and other Tröegs beers near you using our Brew Finder.
