Take a sip of this copper-colored India Pale Ale and you’ll taste bold, citrusy hops with a touch of mango and passionfruit balanced by rich caramel malts. Castaway IPA has a clean, crisp finish that’s as fresh as the wind in your face when you set sail for adventure.

330 ml bottle shared by MisoW. Thanks!
Dark golden, hazy body, with a small, white head.
Aroma of grapefruit, pine, grass, some peach, some dark fruits.
Taste follows this, with some more caramel.
Medium mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, zesty, grassy.
Good, but nothing special. An average IPA, with the expectable aromas, presented in a well balance and good drinkability. There are much better IPAs though.

Bottle. Overall this seems like a really old beer. No significant off element, but lacking hops to be a propper IPA. Caramel and resiny aroma. About the same taste. Good after all.

355ml bottle. Barely clear, golden colour with average, fluffy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney, citrusy, and minimally floral hoppy aroma, a herbal touch of bath salt and mint. Taste is biscuity malty, floral, piney hoppy overtones, a citrus touch. Meh.

Bottled. Goldeny orange colour with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, some mild bready and caramelly notes as well as some herbs and mild spicy elements. Flavour is fruity and floral with some sweet malts coming in as well. A rather balanced brew, which makes it a good session beer, though a bit high on the abv.
