2011 Day Three: Escape Artist Pale Ale

Name: Escape Artist Pale Ale
From: Asheville Brewing Company, North Carolina, USA
Type: American Pale Ale
Today I enjoyed an Escape Artist Pale Ale made by Asheville Brewing in Asheville North Carolina, where my brother Brad lives. He was nice enough to bring me a couple when he visited over Christmas.

This is a solid, sessionable beer. Not too malty, not too hoppy, just smooth and flavorful. It has a strong caramel taste I enjoyed, and I had no problem polishing off the 22oz bomber, and didn't feel drunk after I did. Brad left the price tag on ($4 for a 22oz bottle), and it was nice to see it was a good deal. I probably won't be able to have this one again until Brad brings me replacements or I go visit him, but this is a pretty good beer.
