Pirate Life Brewing – Double South Coast Pale Ale

It’s sunny yellow, judiciously hopped, and twice the size of our flagship pale. What more could you want?!

Nostalgia aside, it’s a punchier variety, and cuts through the extra with ease. The malt bill’s the same (there’s just more of it) and we’ve stuck with Verdant Ale Yeast, too. After all, it’s not a South Coast without those juicy stone fruit esters. Expect that classic yellow hue and a sturdy haze. Aromas of citrus and peach waft from the collar, which settles fluffy and white. To drink, it’s fruity and plush, with pleasant bitterness and oodles of South Coast charm.
