Brew Dog Dead Pony Club |
I tucked into this little bad boy while tuning into England
vs Moldova; the beer was in fact much more exciting than watching England
thrash one of the worst teams in the world (no offence !!!!).
So to the beer. I am going start this review by commenting on
the packaging. I think the turquoise label is not only warm and inviting but
also gives the beer a very unique image, which compliments the flavours inside.
The appearance of this beer is a light amber colour, which has a clear carbonated
body full of freshness and vibrancy.
Before jumping in and drinking this beer one must smell it
and as with any good beer this is where the magic happens. Dead Pony has a
great aroma that jumps out at you; it is fresh with a summer sweetness, dominated by an apricot aroma that entices you to get drinking.
After smelling this summer party in a bottle I was excited
to try the beer. Surprisingly however I anticipated that there would be a depth of
sweetness; this was however not met and was instead overpowered by an explosion of subtle
hoppy bitter flavours. These hoppy flavours left a pleasant subtle sweet citrus
lingering in my mouth. This was surprising, as with such a strong sweet aroma I would
have expected overpowering sweet flavours. The lack of sweetness was however
greeted positively as I believe that too sweet a beer can be sickly.
Overall Dead Pony is a beautifully aromatic beer, full of
hoppy complex flavour, packed into a light beer with a refreshingly crisp finish.
Recommendation ---This beer is great for everyone. Its weak
alcohol percentage and refreshing finish makes it very versatile. I would
recommend it for a summer’s day BBQ. I would also recommend this to new beer
drinkers as an excellent introductory to craft beer, which is likely to excite.
