Pirate Life Brewing

Mid-Strength Pale Ale·Australia·3.5% ABV·One of 21 Mid-Strength Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share South Coast 3.5%'s citrusy and malty character. The mid-strength version of the flagship pale, brewed on the same ingredients with the alcohol pulled back. Wai-iti, Taiheke and Cashmere supply a gentle citrus lift, and the beer pours sunny lemon under a pillow of cloudy foam. The nose is light and malty with lemon and lime behind it, while the palate stays bright and slender, with low hop bitterness and a quick, clean finish.
