Adnams Canned Ghost Ship (4.5%)

  • Adnams Canned Ghost Ship (4.5%)

I’ve tried Adnams Ghost Ship on a few different occasions and really enjoyed but never thought it was an outstanding beer, that was until I cracked open the canned version.

The first thing that hit me was the aroma, It smelled super fresh and packed full of hops, load of pithy lime and lemon, it really jumped out of the can and the aroma was so much more pronounced than I remember the bottle or cask versions being.

The freshness and extra zing was also in the flavour too, the hops really did stand out against the lovely, traditionally Adnams malt backbone.

I wasn’t sure if it was all in my head or not so I mentioned this to @Solebear on twitter the the other day and he said they’d dry hopped the canned version a bit more which I’m guessing is why  the hops spurng out of the can as much as they did.

I actually think this is up there with Innovation and the American IPA with my favourite Adnams beers, I just hope that one or both of them make it into cans sooner rather than later as I could see my self buying a lot of them as my go to beers and beers for wild camping trips in the summer where cans really do come into their own over bottles.

    Love this. Had a bottle from Morrissons week before last and it was up there with Adnams Best. Along with Innovation and American IPA, i like Broadside very much indeed.
    M&S do some decent Adnams gear. I am led to believe that their Southwold Winter IPA is rebadged Innovation. £1.99 each of 5 for price of 6 which works out at about £1.66 each. Bargain. M&S Cambridgeshire Summer (rebadged JHB from Oakham), Cornish IPA (St Austell) and London Porter (Meantime) are all worth a shout and are included in the offer.

    Notice the sly use of the 440ml format to give a softer £2 difference in x24 case prices of GS and Southwold Bitter.

    Andy, It really is good to see a detailed review, without some of the sill words some tasting notes use. I presume you have read my last blog on beer tasting!
    Tip top review as always pal. No fresh grass clippings and Weetabix in your tastings yet then ! lol 🙂

    The bottle looks awesome. Remind me of The Black Pearl from Pirates of the Carribiean.
