TASTING NOTES
Pirate Life have teamed up with the crew at Knobby and brewed ‘Ants In Ya Pants’, an Aussie Pale Ale with a twist. Points for guessing the secret ingredient… Ok, ok, it’s ants. Green Ants to be precise. Ethically sourced by their mates at Something Wild, they pack a mean citrusy punch, so half a kilo in the whirlpool does the job. Complementing their unique taste are hop varieties Riwaka and Strata, while a blend of pale malts provides the base. The beer pours sunny yellow, with a persistent haze. Expect aromas of pineapple, nectarine and lime. On the palate, citrus pairs with herbaceous notes and a gentle hint of malt.
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!
