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!

Aroma is malty, sweet. Not much is going here. Taste is quite sweet with dark malts and caramel notes. It's ok.

Pleasant sweet peach notes. Taste is a bit salty with some light peach notes that are not anywhere close to the aroma. Crispy and refreshing. Ok

Some tropical fruits, smooth. Taste is flowery, some herbs, finished with tropical fruits notes and some slight bitterness. Good one.

Somewhat sweet and malty taste is along the same lines with noticeable sweetness and big malty backbone. Clear, simple, well-done.

Malty, caramel, some oak, moderately sweet. Taste is along the same lines with caramel, some light dark fruits, and a light oak. Finishes with noticeable hoppy bitterness.
Pretty good, but there is not much coming from the bourbon oak.

Sampled from the tap at the Ocean Beach location. Pours a clear light gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has lots of grass and hay with a bit of grain underlying. Flavor is similar with grass and hay up front, some citrus rind and a touch of pine on the finish.
