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.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden amber with minimal almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and citrus n the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sharp but with a tropical juiciness, and some bitterness becomes evident later. Flavour has tangerine, marmalade and floral hops plus hints of pine and citrus. Finish is slightly dry. This is decent.

Citrusy and light tropical fruity aroma and taste, some grassy and pine notes, peppery and hop spice accents, light herbal hoppy, sweetish malty, soft cask carb mouthfeel, bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Bottle at home. A proper ESB! And it was lovely, with deep and rich malt and bitter hops. This is proper English and I love it.

[50cl bottle from my local Waitrose.] A bright amber pour with a tight white head; citrusy aroma; some tropical fruit tastes to start then lemony citrus with a good caramel malt body; then a sweet finish with a traditional hoppy bitterness overlaid with some pithy citrus. Very drinkable.

500ml bottle at my parents 90th Birthday celebrations. Clean amber body, off white crust. Citrus bite over the original Ghost Ship bitterness. Decent malt backbone.
