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.

Hops - Columbus, Centennial, Amarillo, Citra.

Orange with a light tan head. Nice aroma of citrus hops, caramel malts, and light earth. Smooth body and not overly carbonated. The flavor seemed inspired by the UK; biscuit malts, lightly toasted, and some crisp citrus hops. Solid.

Deep copper chestnut hue, with a medium but firm khaki head. Aroma is resiny hops, but somewhat restrained and no shortage of thick bready malts right along side. There’s a touch of a floral character, too. Toasted bready malts dominate the front end of this, there’s a mild citric (orange rind) and floral hop quality that streaks the sides of the tongue, and leads to a firmly hopped bitter finish. Lingering hop flavors are tart and resiny, but also vaguely green/grassy/vegetal.

Can: Awesome art on the can! Deep copper orange pour with a large sandy head. Thick, sticky lacing. Aroma is malty and dusty? Malty into florals and herbal tones. Really, this is an IPA? Malty dominance and bits of floral hops. The hophead in me is left unsatisfied. Back to the fridge I go...

Can: Thistle aroma with a slight woodiness. Dark, cloudy, amber with a thick yellow head. Flavorful orange and orange peel, but thinnish mouthfeel. Quite good for the price.

12 oz can from jjpm74. Thanks John! Make sure your glass is very close by when you open this one! Voluminous frothy head and cloudy deep orange color. Hop aroma is balanced by a cotton candy sweetness. Hops are muted. They taste nice, but quickly fade into the background. Very bitter, metallic aftertaste.

Just tried again at the brewery. Much better. Scores updated accordingly.
