Pirate Life Brewing - Port Adelaide - Luminosa Hazy IPA

Artist Series release #14 features work from South Aussie local, James Smith. His piece is packed with vibrant colours and geometric shapes - an ideal match for the liquid in the tin. In this case, that’s a 6.6% Hazy IPA featuring two belter US hops. The hero, Luminosa, comes bearing fruit (think peach, mango, & papaya) while Strata leans in for a supporting role. Pale grains offer a yellow hue and notes of lemon sponge. The haze is sturdy and luminous when caught by light – a welcome visual link to the name and James’ design. Expect a smorgasbord of tropical aromas (like the ones mentioned above) and a flavour that’s fruity and smooth. There’s a gentle Pina Colada vibe there, too. Malt: Pale Malt, Wheat Malt, Carapils Hops: Luminosa, Strata
