Pirate Life Pilsner

TASTING NOTES

The Pils pours crystal clear and light golden in colour with a snow-white meringue head which lingers on top for the whole pint. It has a classic Pilsner Malt nose reminiscent of water crackers which is lifted to another level by a distinctive sun-ripe white grape aroma courtesy of Nelson hops. Dry, bitter and effervescent the beer has all the crisp, clean, drinking qualities that you want from a Pilsner. When combined with the fresh fruity flavours of Nelson – zesty lime, pear and green pepper, the result is a beer which is ultra refreshing.

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 Brewhouse was ordered from Stainless Systems in Escondido, California in mid 2014. Coincidentally, one of their brewers, Jack, lived just nearby for 4 years back in his USA brewing days. Their other brewer Red saw their tanks at Eagle Bay brewing in WA and was pretty impressed. The brewhouse arrived just 3 days after they arrived in Adelaide so they really hit the ground running, converting a large shed into a fully functioning brewhouse in less than 3 months.
