Adnams Ghost Ship is a pale ale that’s been brewed with a selection of Pale Ale, Rye Crystal and Cara malts, along with American hop varieties like Columbus and Centennial. These ingredients combine to create a distinctly citrusy flavour that, according to the brewery, tastes great when accompanied with spicy food, pizza or summer salad.
Beer connoisseurs will be interested to know that this brew won a bronze medal at the International Brewing Awards in 2013. Launched as a Halloween beer in 2010, the beer was created to be light in colour but with a little more sweetness and body than you’d expect. Ghost Ship gets its name from the 600 year old haunted pub that is owned by Adnams. There’s nothing ghostly about this beer though; the Sunday Telegraph called it “a decent drop”. About Time called it “a well-rounded beer with hearty biscuit flavours, citrus aromas and enough Citra and American hop varieties to create a truly hoppy refreshment.”
How many units are in a pint of Ghost Ship? Great question – there are 2.6 units in a pint of this pale ale. Is Ghost Ship alcohol free? This is the original Ghost Ship and it’s not classed as alcohol free. The percentage of alcohol in this brew is 4.5%, but drinkers should be aware that Ghost Ship does also come in a low alcohol variety (Ghost Ship Alcohol Free 0.5%). One of our fantastic range of Halloween Beers.
