Description
Mike Hess Brewing is one of the premier craft breweries of San Diego. We set out with a mission to bring people together over great beer and were early on in the craft beer revolution. We were the region’s 33rd brewery back in 2010 when our first location, then a nano-brewery, in Miramar was opened. Now, in our 10th year, we have 5 locations in California, including the “OG” spot, which has since tripled in size!

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a murky gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up musty spicy and herbal hops flowing into some thin floral and faint citrus hops. The taste delivers pleasing notes of spicy to floral to faintly citrus and vaguely woody sort of herbal hoppiness. Wow. This really comes together.
