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.

Great beer, even if the packaging is a bit tacky. Pours a translucent (nearly opaque) orange color with a frothy white head. Smells like you’d expect, citrus, pine, soap and all hops. Flavor was all the flavors from the aroma, grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, rounded out by malt to create a balance. Finish is bitter but mild. Worth grabbing and a good example of "don’t judge a book by it’s cover".

Courtesy of Quake1028. The can pours a clear copper with tan head and nice lacing. It smells malty with earthiness, spice and pine hops. The taste begins with a thin mouth feel that ushers in an even combination of roasty malts and some pine hops, grapefruit hops and dirty earthiness. The mixture of hop bitterness grows into the finish squashing down the malts.

12oz. can courtesy of tjthresh. Pour is a slightly hazed orange with a 1.2 inch off white head. Aroma of citrus hops and a a musty basement. Good malt presence in the original taste, then moves more into the hops that were present in the aroma. THe hops feature a nice bitterness to the finish, along with citrus and pine flavors. There is still something musty in the taste, whcih probably dropped my enjoyment of this a bit. Thanks again Tom!

Clear amber color, not much head. Bready and hoppy aroma. Bready, hoppy flavor, same goes with aftertaste.

Why is this rated so highly? Light red color. Aroma has light malt and hardly any hops at all. Flavor is similiar, sweet malt and minimal hops. Not a great beer and not much of an ipa.

Nice copper coloured body with a nice tan head that fades real quick. Aroma of citrus, pine and fresh hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Spicey hoppy flavour with a good malt backbone and some spices throughout the the taste. Aftertaste shows more hops and a pleasant sweetness. Overall, a pretty good IPA made even better by drinking it out of a can! I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 28-July-2007 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
