hopIQ found 10 beers with the same tropical and hoppy character as Pirate Life Pale Ale. One of the three beers the brewery opened with in 2015, and still the most old-school of them. The hops lean dank rather than bright, with pine forest floor and grapefruit peel alongside plain citrus, set against prominent stewed caramel malt that gives the palate a creamy lushness. A herbal note runs underneath, and the close is a hearty, lingering bitterness. Darker in the glass than the name suggests, closer to deep amber. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
