Previously brewed BYO Clone of St. Arnold's Elissa IPA. Really liked "soft" mouth feel. Had beer at local brewery which had similar mouth feel with Topaz hops. I really liked it. So thought I would use same recipe with Topaz hops instead of Cascade. My first brew session I followed to a T. Next time will likely reduce the DME to 5 lbs. to keep lower alcohol content.
