TASTING NOTES
They brew seasonally at Pirate Life, and winter always brings the goods. This Imperial Red Ale is 9%, packed with flavour, and soars in a Spitfire branded tin. Malted barley, oats and rye give it a solid foundation and rich fiery hue. It’s needed to withstand the barrage of hops, with six international varietals on show. The nose is full of mangosteen, gingerbread and stewed stone-fruit. On the palate, assertive bitterness, spiced fruit, and a whack of toffee malt. Serve with pork roast and old comrades.
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!
