Pirate Life Citrus Hystrix Thai Lime Sour

TASTING NOTES

Citrus Hystrix is a lime native to South East Asia. here down under, Pirate life have used it in their brewhouse before, and now it shines again. Developed by PL alumnus Kristy McMillan, this mid-strength kettle sour is brewed with Pale Malt, Wheat, Enigma hops and ten kilos of Citrus Hystrix. The resulting liquid is glowing gold, with streak of oily lime. Expect a lively aroma, with notes of spiced citrus and curry leaf. The bacteria Lactobacillus generates a good lick of acidity, pairing with Hystrix for a vibrant mid-palate lift. To finish, herbaceous lime and a hint of biscuit malt.
