I thought I had missed out on the Double IPA release from Angel City but then, a package arrived at my door a little worse for wear with the new beer undamaged inside.
Double IPA is part of their special Limited 22oz bomber series. It is hopped up with a blend of Warrior, Galena, Citra, Centennial,Amarillo and Motueka hops. It is almost a British DIPA to me. There is a strong malt presence in this offering. The aroma exudes orange pekoe and spice. It is more “wet” than others. Not quite silky but certainly strong without over bounding the style parameters.
Of the Angel City beers, this lands higher on my list. It achieves what many DIPA’s don’t. Deliver a bitterness punch with a strong malt base.
