About
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.

Cortez Gold from Mission Brewery

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6
Can, 32oz. An almost clear one, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. The aroma is mostly on the fruity side, with some white sugar and a grassy touch. It’s medium bodied and quite dry on the palate, with a nice carbonation level. Fruity flavor with white sugar and grassy hops, some pine cones too. Lasting finish with a generic fruityness and grass. A decent one indeed, but it’s rather boring anyway, just like most Belgian style blond ales. Quenching though. 150228

Hell hefiger, wenig karbonisierter Antrunk. Helles Malz, recht langweilig. Zum Ende hin wird die Hefigkeit dunkler, das Bier wässriger. 9/8/9/7/7/7

Dark Seas Russian Imperial Stout from Mission Brewery

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
355ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, small, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, brown head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of liquorice, hints of soy sauce, dark chocolate, burnt coffee, a metallic touch. Taste is dry, roasty dark malty, bitter hoppy, slightly burning alcoholic, some dark chocolate, some coffee; slightly metallic finish, maybe oxidation had a finger in the pie. Looks like having an oily texture, but leaves behind a light and thin impression on the palate.

9/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
Bottle @ home. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized dark brown head that lasts for a decent while and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma is malts, dark roasted malts, coffee, coffee roast, slightly earthy. Taste malts, roasted malts, lightly coffee, a touch of espresso, medium to heavy bitter. Moderately thick, moderately oily texture, roasty bitter finish, medium body and suitable carbonation. If you like roasty imperial stouts like I do, this is one you’ll enjoy. Can anyone please get me the bourbon barrel aged version? That’s gotta be even more awesome!
