Description
Founded in North San Diego County in 2010 by Daniel & Jon Love, and Kamron Khannakhjavani, what began as a hobby years earlier had formed into a business. Originally operating out of a 2200 sq. ft. industrial space, the business grew quickly thanks to thirsty patrons visiting the industrial, but homely, onsite tasting room and adjacent homebrew store. Brewhouse upgrades soon followed and in 2012, Mother Earth opened a large Tap House in the historic downtown Vista district. The relocation of the tap room allowed the company to expand its production spaces even further and over time additional square footage was added to nearly 28000 sq. ft. in total.

In 2015 the company began development of a new, state-of-the-art 40,000 sq. ft. production facility in Nampa, Idaho. Featuring a 40 bbl multi-vessel brewhouse, and the capacity to produce over 100K bbls/yr, “Mother Earth – Nampa” went on-line in August of 2016 and through continuous upgrades and expansion rapidly became the largest brewery in the state of Idaho. As Mother Earth's second regional headquarters, Nampa supports most of the company's growth and produces beer for all markets outside Southern California. The original Vista brewery continues to provide draft and specialty offerings to its home market of Socal as well as creating unique one-off brews for visitors at its retail operations in North County San Diego. Mother Earth remains family owned and operated and has become a standard of success within the industry.

Bottle. It pours a light hazyness, golden-orange in color and with a dense, finger-thick off-white head. The aroma is very piney and grapefruity, with a maltyness in the back. Candy hints. Lots of bitterness in the mouth, with some malty sweetness joining in. Full body and a pleasant carbonation. Lasting bitter finish with grapefruit peel and resins. After a while I sort of get used to the bitterness level, but it’s too bitter anyway. 141219

Bottle 650ml @ fonefan
Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, orange, citrus, grape, pine and alcohol. Taste is medium sweet and heavy bitter with a long orange, citrus, pine and bitter finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

It was a 650ml bottle Mat: shared between 5 at the Tenth Shrewsbury Bottle Share, 8th Dec 2014. Cheers for bringing this Mat. Poured a hazy old gold colour with a thin white head on each of the five glasses. Spicy, hoppy and interesting. Mixed spice bag with the hops playing games on your taste buds. I thought it leaned towards a Saison half way through my tasting but that idea fell away and the beer finished fairly dry and bitter. Different.

75cl (I think!) bottle shared between 5 at the Tenth Shrewsbury Bottle Share, Dec 14, courtesy of myself. Bought at Raccines, Cassel, France. Pours hazy orange with thin foamy head. Spicy with a double IPA marmalade type fruitiness going on with a touch of lime. Floral character with some decent tripel notes. Not bad at all.

Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and minerally crisp. Nice nose of floral peach. Light malts, fluffy cream. Hops kick in quickly. Peachy floral turning to citric bitterness. Airy finish. Dried fruits linger on. Nice.

650ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with small to average, fluffy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Yeasty aroma delivers a plethora of flavours, aniseed, herbs, orange peel, pervaded by citrusy hoppy swathes. Taste is spicy yeasty, herbal, some aniseed, minimally sweet pale malty basis enriched by some orange peel, minimally bready, a banana touch, citrusy hoppy interjections. Slightly unwieldy composition, relatively light and easy drinkable; can’t deny its West Coast provenance.
