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!

(Draught at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, 14 Sep 2016) Hazy bronze colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with flowers, herbs, mint and grapefruit. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, caramel and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. A bit herbal and sweet, but and interesting and tasty IPA. Nice one.

Black with a brown head - Malt aroma with some fruity tones and peppers - Dark malt body with some fruity tones and hot peppers comes after a littel while - The hot peppers goes into the finish - This was ok, but a little bit to hot on the peppers.

Tap. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Very hazy, pale gold. Film of dense, lasting, white head. Nose comes across more ripe orange than grapefruit, with a juicy, and zesty twang. Some candied peel. Clean, dry malts. Taste is crisp, zesty bitter. Some citrus sweetness. Bright, sharp mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Tangy, crisp bitter finish. Very nice.

Tao at Harry’s Hofbrau in San Jose. The grapefruit is restrained here, which i think is a benefit for this style. Slightly hazy gold with white head.
