Pirate Life Brewing - Port Adelaide - Barrel-Aged Czech Style Lager

The bulk of our cask-aged releases are imperial stouts and fruited goses, so this Czech Style Lager has us chomping (or is it champing?) at the bit… All up, it spent three months resting peacefully in our Baker Street barrel hall. Four thousand litres on Adelaide Hills ex-chardy casks, and the remaining thousand on ex-whisky, port, and sherry butts – courtesy of our mates at Limeburners, WA. Back in the cellar, it copped a decent filter and carb, and the results are wonderfully complex… Expect golden hues and a crystal pour. Aromas of American oak and pear crumble drift from the glass. To drink, it’s medium-bodied and crisp, with honey sweetness, delicate spirit, and a smattering of thistly ribes.
