Double Ghost IPA has two sets of dry hopping at different points in the fermentation process. Citra hops are the main contributor, with Centennial and Chinook in a supporting role, alongside some UK Pilgrim for bittering. This additional cargo of hops and a higher alcohol level allows Adnams brewers to layer additional hop character, which not only creates complexity in this expression, but also adds further nuance to its flavour.
A reckoning for your taste buds, it’s Ghost Ship unleashed. Thunderous Double Ghost IPA is double dry hopped. This whips up a surge of tropical fruit and flashes of pine, white grape and citrus, quickly followed by a crack of rye spice. It’s inspired by the ghost stories surrounding the ships lost to storms in Southwold's Sole Bay.

Bottle from Ocado. Amber pour with a white head. Nose is grapefruit, white bread, lime, quite herby. Taste is grapefruit, more white bread, some tropical fruit creeping through. Bitter with a fruity sweet edge.

20/11/2024. Hand Pump at The Dove Street Inn Winter Beer Festival, Ipswich. Pours clear bright amber with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, hoppy, malty, flowery, citrus, grass, slight rubbery edge. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth, soft carbonation. Sweetness develops. It’s alright.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of light tropical fruit, pine, citrus. Taste is buttery up front, then all the fruit comes through. Light bitter finish.
