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.

Bomber from Beverages 4 Less in Santee, CA. Pours very black with a slight dark tan head. Aroma is dark malt, dark fruit, with hints of treacle and coffee. Full bodied. Flavor is dark fruit, smooth dark malt, light coffee and a treacle note. Very smooth. Creamy, with a finish that seems woody and nearly dry. Quite tasty.

Bottle in AZ. Pours a hazy, golden orange appearance with a very lively, white head. Spicy clove, lemon peel citrusy, light banana, apple/pear, wheat malty aroma. Fairly spicy, banana/citrus fruity, somewhat sharp wheat malty flavor with a bubbly, highly carbonated mouth feel. Not bad but the carbonation seems really high to me.

Bottle at Sander’s place, NYC. One of my last beers of this trip. Pours clear orange with a foamy, off-white head. Dry citrus aroma with notes of wood, pine and toasted straw. Lovely flavor, medium sweet, some wood and grass, pine, candi sugar, mango, grapefruit. Medium in body with average, smooth carbonation. Sticky, lightly dry finish, nice and sweet, resinous pine, toasted sugar, grass, straw, juicy orange and grapefruit, some tropical fruits. This is a damn solid IPA.

12n ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse Charlottesville, VA. Pours a very dark brown appearing black in the glass, viscous, very-much like motor oil. Large frothy brown head. Decent head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, nuts, coconut and a mild hop finish. The taste is big roasted malts. Chocolate, coffee, coconut, nuts, bitter hops. Full bodied, chewy texture. Slight lingering bitterness but also a lingering sweetness. Smooth with low carbonation. Nice beer.

Coffee,and burned toast. Black and headless. Mostly burned toast and char, which overpowers any molasses sweetness that it may have. Solid intensity but no nuance. Not overly warm. Decent.
