Firemans #4 and transform it into 4-squared? Blonde ale to the power of awesome! You might ask how we've accomplished this, and you probably should. We start with the basic Firemans recipe, add more of our premium 2-row malted barley to bring this blonde ale up to 16°P, then add massive charges of hops to give some bulk to this burly blonde. The clean, dry finish and the signature Crystal and Glacier hops are still there -- we've simply multiplied it like crazy. Add to that Herkules, Amarillo and a round of dry-hopping, and you're left with notes of citrus and a substantial hop flavor and aroma. A truly special beer for our 16th year.
Casks of 4-squared have been additionally dry-hopped with Zythos hops, a blend of Northwest "IPA style" hops. Piney, resinous, and a boost of citrus.
