TASTING NOTES
The ‘X’ in XPA stands for ‘extra’ – something this pale has in spades… Wheat, malted barley, and oats give it a full body and hazy, honey hue. As you might expect, hops are front row centre, with US and NZ strains supplying a myriad of fruity characters. A sturdy head gifts aromas of pineapple & mandarin, with lifted floral notes. To drink, it’s full and fresh, showing tropical fruits, moderate bitterness, and a lick of resinous pine.
BREWERY SNAPSHOT
Adelaide deserves to be famous for more than churches and an iced coffee fetish. Sunshine, great food, better wine and famous festivals; it was the obvious choice for Pirate Life. Adelaide might have funny tasting water, but that doesn’t stop them from making a darn good brew.
DID YOU KNOW?
Pirate Life choose cans over bottle because:
1. Cans no longer have that metallic taste, thanks to internal coating. Think of it as a mini keg
2. Cans are more portable and durable
3. They take far less energy to recycle than bottles
4. They chill faster!
