O: As noted, this is exceptionally good for a session beer. Most beers of this ilk go for a tropical fruit basket and haze to add body, but this tastes like an old-school English ale that's had a little bit of tropical fruit added. The body is full and feels like it's from a much bigger beer. Overall, this is really good. T: Taste is juicy, chewy and tangy caramel malts, with a very earthy, almost dirty, hop presence. The finish is sweet and fruity. It's extremely moreish and exceptionally good for a low-alcohol brew. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. M: The only slight rub is there's more carbonic bite than expected, and it's not as though the beer is so sweet that it needs it to cut through at the end. With a change of label, we simplified the name to Dead Pony Pale Ale. As with Five AM, we wanted to restructure a couple of our Headliners to better reflect what was inside the bottle. The contents had not changed – only the last word of the beer name. Adding the style to the beer name makes it easier for people to make an informed choice in the bar or bottle shop as to something they might like; and therefore, hopefully give them a better beer drinking experience.

What Dead Pony was intended to be was a massively dry-hopped citrus-bomb, only under 4% abv. Speaking of beermaking over the pond, one of the biggest changes there in terms of styles over recent years has been the sudden prevalence of session IPA’s. Led by the truly epic Founders All Day IPA, this proto-style has become something pretty much every US craft brewery has rushed to produce. Yet Dead Pony doesn’t really fit in here, either. Ironically, it’s simply not strong enough (All Day IPA is 4.7%). L: It's dark, golden, orangey, and honey-coloured in the glass with a finger-high head of bright white froth and lacing down the glass. Lots of carbonation races up the glass. Character, taste and aroma: This IPA has a hoppy flavour with aromas of citrus, lemon-grass and lime zest. The toasted malt base ebbs to a huge hop hit, washing tropical fruit, floral garlands and spicy undertones all over your palate.We’d love to hear your thoughts, however – what style do you think Dead Pony falls into?
