About this deal

Pours a clear golden-amber colour, producing roughly two fingers of lumpy, soapy white head that steadily dissipates. Five minutes later it has been worn down to a sudsy collar and cap, with several rings of lovely, delicate lace adhering to the glass - a fine-looking ale for sure. Understated aroma of citrus, melon, doughy malts and an earthy, herbal, weakly spicy hop presence; hints of candied orange peel, tea and berries. Damaging Ghost Ships – all types of cannonballs can be used against Ghost Ships. Powder keg barrels and ramming into the hull will not do damage The battle goes as follows; there are four waves. Waves 1 and 3 are 10 rouge, singular ships. No leaders or followers. You will have to sink 7 of the 10 ships to start the second wave. The second wave spawns two formations of Ghost Ships. Meaning, 5 ships with a leader (x2). Sink the two leader ships to activate round 3 of the fleet. Kill 7 of the 10 ships in wave 3 to spawn the final wave. The Burning Blade Boss Ghost Ship spawns in a formation. Kill the Burning Blade to defeat the whole event and earn the special ghost goodies. The new Captain Flameheart’s Ghost Fleet is extremely challenging and rewards special ghostly loot necessary for completing accommodations. When the fleet spawns, you will have to defeat a total of four waves of roughly 10 ghost ships per wave.

Ghost Ships on the other hand, require skilled cannon fire to defeat. Bully tactics such as swimming a keg or straight ramming into the hull will not work. Bring tons of cannonballs as well as massive amounts of planks to keep from sinking. He explains Ghost Ship (4.5% ABV) is Adnams’ biggest selling keg beer and also its biggest selling cask beer. Adnams has beers like Mosaic (4.1% ABV) on keg, which is a pale ale, and Dry Hopped Lager (4.2% ABV) also on keg but although it makes a small amount of Mosaic in cask, the lager is not available through that dispense method.

Dodge cannon fire by sailing sporadically. Sail in a zig-zag, weave around the try to keep at an angle where your boat had shots, but their boat doesn’t (I know… this is obvious). Circling a ship works so long as you are slightly ahead of the motion. Circling while the skeleton ship (or any boat for that matter) has the front advantage puts your ship right in the line of cannon fire. When it comes to cask, “all the managed houses sell solely Adnams really and, coming out of Covid, most of the tenants are still solely selling Adnams. There will be some guest lines available [at our pubs] but most are only selling Adnams on cask at the moment,” Fitzgerald says.

So long as your aim is decent, and your crew is coordinated, Ghost Ships are not impossible to defeat. They are the significantly harder to defeat due to the new phantom balls they fire, but not impossible. Come prepared is the best advice I could give you. Wraith balls will burst multiple holes in your ship, so in theory, getting hit with 3 Wraith balls will at minimum place 9 – 12 holes, meaning you need 9-12 planks just for those three special Wraith balls. The base number of planks on a freshly spawned ship is 15 planks per plank barrel. So right there, three Wraith balls consumes nearly all your planks. DO: Use any type of cannonball (chain shot, blunderbomb, regular cannonballs, cursed cannonballs, firebombs) These ships also spawn during the Skeleton Fleet world event. The Galleon cloud in the sky is a symbol for the active event, the cloud will stay in the sky until a crew defeats the fleet.

Ghost Ship, Southwold Bitter (3.7% ABV) and Broadside (4.7% ABV) are the business’s best-selling cask beers but the second best-selling beer after Ghost Ship overall is Ghost Ship 0.5% ABV. Adnams sells about 8% of its own-made cask to its pub estate with the lion’s share, as has always been the case, going to direct national trade. Fitzgerald says Adnams runs a diverse business. It makes and sells beer and spirits and imports and sells wine. It has a small managed pub estate of about 10 pubs, including a couple of hotels, plus a small, tenanted side of about 35 pubs. It also has a direct trade business and sells into the supermarkets as well. 85% of production was cask Flame Phantom Cannonball – These are red glowing phantoms, similar to firebombs, but are not throwables. When the flame phantom cannonball strikes an enemy ship, it sets it on fire Leader Ghost Ships will have symbols on their sails. Killing a leader will cause the followers in its fleet to disperseTaking the alcohol out affects how some of the other flavours work together. It accentuates the bitterness so you have to move the parameters around a little bit to try and get to the same place. I think we get pretty close. There are differences but there have been times at tastings where we don’t know which is which and that’s quite a good place to be – we just need to get there more often.” He adds: “We have to be a little bit more sensitive about the turnover because being a 0.5% product, it doesn’t have the alcohol to protect it from other bacteria or yeast making it go off. We do find some drinkers like to like to have a 4.5% and half a 0.5% mixed together to give themselves a two-point something.” First, these ghost ships cannot be rammed into or blown up with powder kegs. Instead they explode after getting hit with cannonballs. The idea that it’s just older clientele drinking cask and the younger clientele not drinking it is not true anymore. There’s also a lot of discussion about the fact a lot of customers don’t actually know the difference between cask and keg.” All aboard the Ghost Ship

Skeleton Ships are defined by their torn sails and green/blue flames lit inside the ship’s lanterns. Sloop and Galleon Skeleton Ships can be found patrolling the seas, often popping out from beneath your boat. Ghost Ships are visually defined by their turquoise, transparent, glow-like color. In addition to their unique, visual appearance, Ghost Ship crews have unique battle mechanics.The low-alcohol variant is a big hit. Fitzgerald explains: “It’s essentially the same recipe as the 4.5% Ghost Ship but we had to make some adjustments to the recipe because we brew it, ferment it and then we put it through a system called reverse osmosis, which essentially takes the alcohol out. Phase 4 – The Boss brigade spawns with the Burning Blade as the leader. Defeat the Burning Blade to complete the battle and earn the ghostly loot The only reason to board the skeleton ship is if you need to prevent the skeletons from repairing the hole. This would be necessary if you are low on cannon balls, or have none left. You will not be able to anchor them, the anchor on the skeleton ship is non-existent.
