cali by way of celts

 Dead Pony Club comes out with meringue-like head, but it fizzles out within the minute.  The slightly earthy citrus smell does hang around for a while, though.  It's surprisingly dark for a "pale ale" and soda level bubbly.  The taste is bitter and tongue-covering, but with a hint of sweet, a bitter orange type of flavor.  The sweet becomes more perceptible with some time sitting without becoming overwhelming.  Nice and refreshing, a good after-work beer, especially the evening still has a little warmth from the day.
