Angel City IPA is made with English Pale Malt and is bittered and generously dry-hopped with Golding Hops. This beer is not for the faint of heart, but because it is so well balanced it will be enjoyed by many.

22oz bottle. Golden color. White head. Aroma of Red Bull, guarana. No beer characteristics as far as the Aroma goes. Flavor is sour then it follows to a stale loaf of bread. Bad beer taste. Kill yourself.

Nice golden hue, creamy white head with good retention. Mild hops in the front and hints of citrus, good malt and an easy smooth finish. a refreshing ipa, not a overly hopped west coast style ipa~

Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, slight soap, and some citrus hops. Flavor is malty, candied strawberries, and sweet candy finish.

Pours clear gold witha big white head. Definitely an English-style IPA. Soapy hops, pepper, biscuits, and that distinctive English malts. Taste is sharp and crisp, but somewhat watered-down. Apple tartness, lemons, and the golding hops are prevalent, as is a funky, musty malt flavor. Not really my bag, baby.

650ml bottle from Bev4less in Santee. Pours a pours a translucent copper-gold color with a big sudsy white head. The lasted a long while and left good lacing. The aroma was moderate in strength with plenty of pepper spice and a bit of sweet biscuit. The flavor was very hops forward (as an IPA should be). Besides biter hops, there is a fair amount of biscuit, sour grapefruit, and white pepper. The mouthfeel is full, malty and smooth. The finish is long with a lingering sour note. Overall: Not my favorite IPA, the sour flavor seemed out of place here. Not recommended.

Bomber from Hi-Time. Aroma is more ESB than IPA. Seems floral. Orange gold color with a fluffy, coarse white head. Medium body with very mild carbonation. The flavor is malt, floral/herb and arguably citrus peel. A little funk, perhaps. English malt. Golding hops. Spicy, soft, woody. Maybe this is an EPA? Between the malt and the hop it does seem well balanced. Though it could be an ESB on roids. Took a bit of getting used to, but it is well worth the effort. Adventures in the mouth. Turns out to be a good ale.

Bomber pours out hazy copper – orange with off white head. The aroma seems somewhat Belgian like with yeasty spice mixed with lime, sour green grapes and a hint of malt sweetness. The taste starts tart with lemon, lime and under ripe grapes followed by tart grapefruit rind. A faint malt sweetness wells up at one point but doesn’t do anything to stave off the citrusy bitterness. Maybe this bottle has just started to sour. If it is meant to taste like this then I really didn’t care for it too much.

22oz bottle-pours a light tan head and gold color with particles. Aroma is some hop, medium malt and a bit of off-putting apple cider. Taste is some hop, medium malt and a bit of off-putting apple cider, maybe a packaging/bottling issue. While still quite drinkable would like to try again. OK carbonation.
