A ghostly apparition reportedly skirts the shores of New Haven harbor; a whispy widow eternally searching for her lost-at-sea husband. It is truly a sad tale of loss. But hey! At least she's got a beer named after her, huh? Our flagship beer pours in with a citrus, fruity nose and a crisp floral finish that is well-balanced with its Pilsner, Munich, and Crystal malt blend.

Got in a BIF from tasterschoice62. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of juicy citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, light caramel, toasted biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon/orange rind, light pepper, pine, honey, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and fairly creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice IPA. All around great juicy citrus/pine hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Can. Aroma is hoppy resin, citrus, pine, grass, herbs, mild malt. Appearance is hazy yellow with two finger white fluffy head with nice lacing and nice sparkle. Taste is mix of fruity sweetness and mild bitterness. Palate is medium body with thick texture, average carbonation, and nice long finish of mixed sweet and bitter. Overall, pretty true to the brewery’s description (a rarity, I find)--complex mix of malt and hops that is hoppy enough for those aficionados without driving away those of us malt types.

Can at home in Salisbury, CT. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy white head. Inviting nose, with some pithy tangerine, orange, pale bread and melon. Light to medium sweet with some bitter pine needles and citrus rind. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with bitter grass and pine, dry melon, more orange and tangerine. Decent.

Tap at Modern Apizza. Citrus and tropical hop nose, meaty golden malts, peaches and oranges. Decently balanced and tasty beer, though it was way too flat when served to us, which was quite a downer.

Reviewed from notes. Consumed May 23, 2013.
The appearance was light hazy yet almost slightly clear orange/brown body with a two finger white foamy head, foamy clingy lacing. Some carbonation was seen rising.
The smell had a hoppy citrus/pine up front, malts are coming through as it warms, sorta bready in the smell.
The taste was crisp citrus/pine again. Breadiness was a bit stronger, malts stayed in the background, dry crisp aftertaste and finish.
The palate was about a medium, semi-sessionable, adequate carbonation, smooth yet crisp.
Overall, this is very good for its style and very good to me as I would have this again if I could get it again.

Can: Poured a deep orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus hops with light dry floral notes is quite nice and refreshing. Taste is dominated by solid notes of fresh citrus hops with some dry flora notes also noticeable with a solid malt backbone with well-balanced sweetness level. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Nice mix of hops flavours with nice refreshing features.

Pours a hazy pale yellow-orange color with a medium fizzy white head that evaporates steadily. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal hops, pine and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a floral hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can courtesy of Kimgpin Adam of Somalia, thank you sir! Murky golden brown color, thin white head, solid lacing. Aroma of fresh grass, mild scallions, subtle anise. Taste is bitter leomgrass. Not bad at all.
