Mission Brewery, San Diego, CA. IPA, 6.8% by Vol.
Here's a California brewery I've never heard of, purchased at my most recent Wisconsin trip. First of from Mission, their IPA.
Very hazy, dank and dusky golden/amber hue, under a white head that dies down quickly.
Aroma: pungent, piney, and resinous. A heady helping of hops. Plenty of citrus, grapefruit, lime and orange. Ah…every hophead's dream, here.
Taste: All that, back on the palate. Not as intense, though. big, still, but not overmuch.
And that's just how it should be. We don't have a double IPA in the bottle, after all.
Yum. Nice and easy-drinking, plenty of flavor, tons of yum.
Laying the hops on heavy here, but not so much that it over-burdens so.
