Asheville Pizza Houdini ESP

Brewed by Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Asheville, North Carolina USA

Not especially memorable. A little watery and thin but with some good flavor. Nutty with some hops. I would classify this more as an amber ale. Not much piney hop flavor in this. Reasonably crisp finish.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub. Pours a dark orange color with a medium head. Fair head retention and good lacing. Sweet floral hop aroma with nutty malt notes. Taste is weak and shows notes of sweet malts, honey and faint hops. Thin body.

Sampled on draught at a music fest. Decent overall, pours a clear copper colour with a medium head. Nice and fruit forward on the nose and soft hops. flavors are tropical, finishes smooth.

Alright already and some more grain to your beers! Everything I have had here has been extremely thin and lacking in complexity. A very typical pale ale. Light fruitiness in the beginning, with a bitter almost chalky tone throughout the finish.

tap. small white creamy head with good lacing into cloudy brown body. aromas of light malts and light hops. flavor is lightly bitter with some light sweetness at end. light to moderate duration on finish. again as the Shiva the only realy issue I had was it seemed a bit on the thin side.

Sampled at the Brewpub.i couldn’t detect much of a difference between this beer and Shiva.Hoppy and crisp with a bitter finish.

A slightly hazed amber pour. Hops in the aroma dominate. Semi sweet start that goes to a hard lasting hoppy finish. A good palate smooth and full. Carbonation is very good. Rough around the edges but very good. On tap at pub

Draft at brewpub. Hazy amber with a creamy, lasting head with a nice sheet of lace. Spicy caramel aroma. Flavors of nut and caramel are balanced well by some bitter and fruity hops. Slightly sour and bitter finish. Light-medium body, smooth and dryish.
