Description
Mission Brewery was originally established in 1913, but like most breweries of the time, it went out of business during the first year of Prohibition. In 2007, Dan Selis, an avid homebrewer, re-established the brand and has built it into one of the top craft breweries in San Diego County.

Draft - Dark Nutty and some coconut with toast. Deep brown with a rich light beige head. Dark roasty notes and lots of nutty notes. Subtle coconut is lost in the rich notes.

Sample at GABF 10/07/2017, thanks to my bro for assistance with note-taking. Clear orange color with a medium frothy white head that diminishes gradually. Strings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of grassy hops, guava and roast malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a fruit and hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

I sniffed out the best beers in the airport. Bottle at LA Airport, 23rd November 17. Pours black and slick. Aroma is roasty malts, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is rich bitter coffee and chocolate, roasted, slite smoke. Delicious, although rushed as I had the final call and had to run.

Il gusto al naso va su luppolo e pompelmo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma cremosa, persistente e voluminosa ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La carbonazione è abbondante. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. La frizzantezza si manifesta sotto forma di bollicine medie. La carbonazione è nella norma. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono luppolate. Il finale è felpato, amarognolo, secco e pulito. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca riporta sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pompelmo, ananas, albicocca e pino.
