Elissa
English IPA
ABV: 6.6% IBU: 60 |
Elissa has a light copper body, and its clingy, thick, off-white head fills the air with enticing aromatics: Toffee malts and dull, musty hops instantly transport you to a London pub stool. Sweet, toffee-drenched biscuit blends with light fruity yeast esters before a smattering of grassy hops add an earthy touch. As the beer washes back, constant bitterness tempers the malt sweetness without overpowering it, lending a smooth mouthfeel and delicate flavor profile worth savoring. Finishing a touch toasty on the tongue, this clean, spot-on IPA may be Texas-born, but it has the heart and soul of England. |
