Today I'm checking out Elissa IPA brewed by Saint Arnold Brewing in Houston, Texas. The beer is named after a Texas Tall Ship of the same name from 1877. I've tried this beer before though never really did a review. This was sent to me by the brewery.
Light pine aroma, pretty faint. Super-duper flowery flavors open things up. That's followed by a lemony, medicinal type thing. Grassy bitterness, light orange citrus. Toward the end, a nice sweet malty balance shows up. The finish shows a bit of alcohol and dryness. Not bad.

Not Bad is not enough for me to try. I'll pass. I thought Saint Arnold was some holy grail of brews. I can't say I've had any before, and I'm not terribly enticed to try them. recommendations of a good one?
Hey Matthew. Saint Arnold beers are just available in Florida recently, but not yet here in SE FL though that is the plan.
There is a series called the Divine Reserve that has a cult following. I'll let you know if when they show up here.
