15/6/2025. Cask at The Greyhound, Ipswich. Nice to find something different on here apart from regular Adnams. A herbal floral brew. Summery. Not bad.

0,5 l bottle. Pours almost clear amber with medium, quickly dissipating off white head. Aroma of decent malt base, some biscuits, citruses and pine hop notes. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Finish is bittersweet with more pronounced biter aftertaste. Not superb, but decent and reasonably balanced.

0,5 l bottle. Pours hazy amber with medium, quickly dissipating off white head. Not much in terms of aroma, some grain, a hint of flowery hop notes. Taste is very low sweet and medium bitter. Finish is just a hefty bitter kick. I tried regular Ghost ship together with 0,5 ABV one. They are nothing alike. This one is just malty bitterness, very little in terms of hop character and not balanced at all.

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.
