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.

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.

Bottle@The Bishops Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm. Pitch black colour with a mediumsized off-white foamy head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is roasted malts, liquorice, some slight toasted tones with coffee and also some floral hoppiness to it. Flavour is pretty similar to the aroma, but focuses on the chocolaty and roasted tones. The other elements are milder.

Tap at the brewery. Pours nearly opaque red with a beige head. Bourbon aroma. Full body. Flavor is very sweet and very bourbon. Not at all dry.Wood astringency notes. Heat substitutes for bitter to control the malt. Really tasty.

Tap at the brewery. Pours light clear amber with a lacing white head. Earthy terpene aroma. Approaching full body. Flavor is amber malt supporting a lot of pine related flavors. Dry and earthy bitter. Different and excellent. Getting pineapple required introspection.
