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.

Tap at the brewery. Pours amber gold with a white head. Malty aroma. Medium body. Flavor is malty with citrus and a touch of leather. Towards dry. Citrus earthy bitterness.

16 oz can picked up in Ontario. Solid IPA with classic grassy hops and subtle grapefruit. Moderate hop bitter, cool finish. Long lingering palate with balance. Very good brew, and a solid ten dollar 4 pack.

12oz goblet of 12% beer for $6. Clear & deep, oily gold with some leftover whitewash lace. Lemon pepper, half sharp toast, yeast, barrel, faint oxidation. Taste is similar to a smooth barleywine. Soft toast, candi, unidentifiable botanical wine notes, low but evident oxidation. Low acid, slightly buttery, faint fuggle + something else bittering. A hair too sweet, damn. Wanted more acid too. Still pretty good.

8oz pour at the source. Opaque, orange brown brew; mostly still. Lime, sour peach, soft vanilla. Taste is big on extra sharp berries with a follow through of vanilla whipped peaches & cream that almost gets dry right at the end. There's not too much thinking involved. Heavy acid reflux. Something I really get. Okay.

On tap @Mission, 5.6%. I incorrectly ordered a half pint during happy hour when it was basically a buck more for a whole. Dark, unfiltered apple juice pour. Not super active. Classic clove & overripe banana nose, maybe some box juice. Deep & juicy pear, this is quite fruity. Strong clove, itchy wheat, light toast on that. Lower then expected yeasty feel. Super crispy. American wheat. Good.

On tap at Waterfront in San Diego. Honey gold pour. Creamy beige head. Biscuit malt and spicy hops in the nose. Flavor is soft bready malt and peppery hops. Dank citrus leans toward lime pith and grapefruit. Dryish bitter finish.

On tap at the source. Pint glass. Pale with a very slightly deeper color than it should be. Clear, no complaints. Frothy, crispy, high CO2 across the board. Higher acidity, very subtle sharpness, light pith, more grain thank fruit. Not very much fruit at all. Satisfying though. Like.
