Pirate Life The Gilbert Street Hotel Imperial Pumpkin Ale

TASTING NOTES

Halloween is upon Pirate Life once again, and to celebrate they’ve spiced things up with an über spooky brown ale… It begins with premium malts, Simcoe, Willamette & Fuggles hops, and a handful of aromatic spices. Brown sugar adds depth to the boil, while 200 kilos of pumpkin lend sweet & earthy characters. It pours nut brown, with flecks of butterscotch. Expect aromas ginger snaps and treacle, with notes of bitter orange. The palate is round and glossy, gifting toffee malts and pumpkin pie. Notes of choc caramel linger long.

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!
