Pirate Life Imperial Red Ale

They brew seasonally at Pirate Life, and winter always brings the goods. This Imperial Red Ale is 9%, packed with flavour, and soars in a Spitfire branded tin. Malted barley, oats and rye give it a solid foundation and rich fiery hue. It’s needed to withstand the barrage of hops, with six international varietals on show. The nose is full of mangosteen, gingerbread and stewed stone-fruit. On the palate, assertive bitterness, spiced fruit, and a whack of toffee malt. Serve with pork roast and old comrades.
