TWO DOLLARS. TWO. DOLLARS. That's right, two dollars is all it costs to take home 22 ounces of Mission St. Brown Ale. Well, the sticker price is actually $1.99, but whatever... This is the cheapest bomber I've ever seen, cheaper than Stone and even cheaper than Lagunitas. I don't make a point to drink the cheapest beer on the shelf but I've had a couple really good Mission St. beers and figured I couldn't pass up this Brown Ale. I mean, $2 for a bottle of beer that's (more or less) brewed by Firestone Walker? That's just crazy cheap...
Mission St. Brown Ale pours a dark brownish copper color and kicks up an off white colored head. There's a lot of carbonation in this beer but not much head retention, most of the bubbles are gone by the time you're ready to take a drink. The aroma of this beer is sweet and a little nutty with hints of caramel.
This beer tastes mildly sweet, a little bitter and somewhat nutty. In other words, it tastes like a Brown Ale. There's nothing crazy going on in this beer, it's just a solid Brown Ale. I'm not complaining, this beer tastes good and has a fantastic price. For the money, this is the best Brown Ale I've ever had. Even if price weren't a factor I'd still suggest this beer to friends who are looking for a good Brown Ale they could drink all evening long.
