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.

16 oz pour at Trevor's by the Tracks, San Juan Capistrano on 25th April 2025. Nice looking lager, bright golden body, clean and clear; white head that did stay around for a while. Subtle citrus hints, slightly bitter and slightly malty, not bad for a very cold local lager.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma ha una buona tenuta, è persistente e voluminosa. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. La carbonazione è abbondante e vivace. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. 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 amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si depositano sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo e agrumi.

Bottle at home. Aroma of citrus, pine, malt, tropical fruits, herbal notes, earthy hops. Flavour is moderate sweet and medium bitter. Well-balanced and earthy, on the malty side with fruity notes. Though I like my IPA more of a fruit bomb, this one is surprising and enjoyable.

Bottle at home. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, grapefruit, some peach, grass, hint of bready malt, fresh hops. Flavour is medium to heavy bitter. Body is light to medium, on the light side which makes the beer very sessionable indeed. Very fruity hoppy and refreshing, I dig it.

Bottle at home. Aroma of ripe tropical fruits, malt, biscuit, pine resin, orange, hops. Flavour is just over moderate sweet with a moderate to medium bittersweet finish. Body is medium to full. A rather malty IIPA, but well-rounded and smooth drink.
