This landmark pale encompasses our founding vision of ingenuity, our unwavering commitment to quality and the laid-back spirit of the South Coast - or as we Pirates prefer to call it, home.

Once poured, peach and citrus drift from the pint, spurring imagery of backyard trees laden with fruit. The first mouthful sends pineapple, sweet malt and a gentle bitterness across the palate. It’s light-bodied, cruisy and brewed with the session in mind.

We were born on the Nullarbor and raised in a shed on the Adelaide Plain, and while we continue to grow, some things will never change, like our passion for making great beer and our enduring love of the South Coast.

South Coast Pale. Welcome home.

Can from Dan Murphy’s, Carrie Downs. Can states 3.5%. Pours light hazed pale gold with white foam. Mild citrus & grass aroma. Light sweet & bitter taste. Light body with low carbonation. A bit wishy-washy tbh

Poorly stored in guessing. Some stone fruit, but lots of malt.

330ml can at the Beer Bank, Tropicana Gardens Mall, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a slightly hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, fresh, light dank, light lemon citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty light all round I guess, but it’s refreshing at least.

Keg at The Stolen Gem bar, Melbourne. Just what you'd want after a presentation. A light, quaffable, well dry hopped pale ale that goes down easy. Pretty looking.

(Can) Pours hazy straw with tiny loose white head. Pleasant aroma of pine with citrus hints. Medium body with plenty of carbonation. Taste is refreshing citrus up front, but rather flat and watery afterwards, albeit with some nice but restrained hop bitterness. Easy drinking.

Schooner on tap at Beverly Hills Hotel, NSW. Pours a very pale yellow with a thin white crown of foam. Faint aroma of lemon and malt. High fine carbonation. Light body, smooth texture. Taste and finish are lightly bitter and fruity, even a touch of sherbet in the short finish. Very reminiscent of Stone & Wood Pacific Ale.
