Spivey Special--Elissa IPA

The Elissa​

Description

A traditional India Pale Ale, the Elissa IPA is very hoppy with a properly balanced 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. Our reverse osmosis water makes the bitter very soft with no harsh notes to it. The maltiness is derived from British Maris Otter malt. Its rich flavor stands up to the hops that would otherwise dominate this beer. The Elissa is an authentic version of an India Pale Ale (IPA) style.
Recommended pairings: Any style of seafood, Indian food, & spicy Thai.

Ingredients

Malt:
Made with all British malt. The base malt is Maris Otter, augmented with some medium crystal malt.
Hops:
We use a single hop in this beer: Cascades. This is a distinctive American hop noted for it’s citrusy flavor. We make three hop additions in the kettle as well as a large dry-hopping in the fermenter. Our Elissa IPA is pure, with no additives or preservatives. In order to maintain the freshest flavor possible, we do not pasteurize our beer. Many of its subtle flavors are delicate and would not stand up to the heat of pasteurization. We recommend that this product be stored cold to avoid any degradation in flavor.

Bodean's Lite Beer

Devil's Backbone (spring release) draught only, bottles 2010
Named for the scenic ridge that runs between Blanco and Wimberley, Devil's Backbone is a Belgian-style tripel. Czech Saaz hops and Belgian yeast give this ale its distinctive flavor and aroma. Candy sugar made in-house at the brewery adds strength without increasing heaviness. The result is a deceptively strong, pale golden ale.
ABV: 8.1%, IBU: 36, OG(plato): 18

Nectar of the Gods

Not in bottles yet, but we're workin' on it...fantastic IPA

(512) IPA
(512) India Pale Ale is a big, aggressively dry-hopped American IPA with smooth bitterness (~65 IBU) balanced by medium maltiness. Organic 2-row malted barley, loads of hops, and great Austin water create an ale with apricot and vanilla aromatics that lure you in for more. (Approx. 7% ABV)

Time Warp?

Hey, that hurts. Flexible is my middle name.

BTW, toss out that old calendar. Tuesday was 9 Sep in 2008. Pretty sure it's 7 Sep this year.

Hitting the meeting should work. Patrick already booked a room in Tunica for the 7th, but I'll tell him about the Cottonland shindig and see if he can cancel. Thanks for the tip.

Returned your email old man. Hope tuesday works out.

Got it, answered it, we're on board for the Tuesday meeting. Set two extra places at the CottonLand table.

Need to repack the wheel bearings on my walker before this trip. And stock up on Depends.

See you boys on 7 Sept (of 2010 )

Unless yall just want to stay up there with the old folks and nickel slots, why don't you cancel that room and i'll put yall up at my cabin on the river-indoor plumbin' and all.

Hey Parker, I hate casinos. That was just the cheapest place we found. Your cabin sounds way better hands down, but I'm not the decision maker. I'm just along for the ride and for emergency mechanic services if needed.

Lemme talk to Pat and get back to you. If we hit Jackson and the Cottonland meeting on Tuesday, is the cabin available for Wednesday night?

BTW, thanks for the generous offer. Nothing like southern hospitality.
