I'm a big fan of beers that have a lot of flavour but a low alcohol content - they enable me to have a delicious drink and to have the confidence that I'm well under my daily recommended allowance of alcohol (whatever that is). (Such beers make you wonder about what on Earth people like
Carling and
Fosters are bothering to do when
Brewdog,
Kernel and
Magic Rock can make ales that are well under 4% abv which sometimes excel their stronger compatriots in terms of flavour.) This US style pale ale by
Brewdog has a fat nose of
refreshers, thoroughly carbonated but not a great deal of head. The initial bitterness didn't really last long unfortunately. These are now available in my local
Sainsburys at a pretty decent £1.69. Although the
Punk IPA sells more it seems (that part of the shelf is nearly always empty), I definitely prefer the (seemingly) more intense US inspired flavour of the
Dead Pony Club.
