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!

Can from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Pours hazy gold with a transient white head. Aroma of grapefruit and arguably mango. Med body at least. Flavor has mango and guava with pale malt support - grapefruit finally shows as rind/fiber. Dry for a NEIPA; very fruity; nicely bitter. good stuff.

From a can. Pours a slightly foggy light orange pale amber. Blocky off white head. Pale malts with hints of honey. Good fresh and biting hop flavors. Some grassy papery notes towards the end. Pretty good
