Very dry and assertively bitter.
A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for BrewDog Dead Pony Club
◎ Appearance
Dead Pony Club displays a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine white head that persists well. The beer shows vibrant carbonation with steady bubbles rising through the glass, creating an inviting visual presentation typical of well-crafted session IPAs.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by assertive pine and resinous hop character with prominent citrus notes, particularly grapefruit. A subtle floral undertone complements the hop-forward profile, while clean malt provides a light, balancing sweetness without any alcohol burn.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with bold citrus and pine flavors that immediately assert the IPA character despite the modest 5.2% ABV. Mid-palate develops a medium body with crisp, dry malt backbone supporting a persistent hoppy bitterness that reaches 60 IBUs without becoming harsh or overwhelming.
◑ Finish
The finish is exceptionally clean and dry with lingering pine and grapefruit notes that fade gradually. The hoppy aftertaste persists long enough to satisfy without overwhelming, making this ideal for extended consumption.
