St Arnold Elissa India Pale Ale
Brewed by St. Arnold's Brewery, Houston TX bought and also drunk at St Arnold's Brewery during the brewery visitor tour and Saturday open house. The beer is included in the price and you bring your own food. Great concept, only downside is that the beer hall is very noisy, it is impossible to hold a normal conversation so many people bring games to play - cards or chess or dominoes or build a tower and others.
Elissa IPA is described on a table tent as "A traditional India Pale Ale, the Elissa IPA is very hoppy with a properly blanced malty body. Elissa has huge hop additions in the kettle that give it a wonderful bitterness and is then dry hopped in the fermenter to create the pleasant floral hoppy nose. This beer is named after ELISSA a tall ship now moored in Galveston that once transported casks of IPA from England to India. St Arnold is donating a portion of the proceeds of this beer for preservation of this shop."
Both Colin and I liked this beer. The full body and slight bitterness gives the beer an enjoyable feel and taste as it is being drunk.
