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.

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 21A). Bottle 35.5 cl - Batch 10:25 3 (BBF 15.06.17). AROMA: medium oxidized hop aroma with notes of dried grass, followed by a low malty-sweet background. APPEARANCE: gold color and clear. medium white head with good retention. TASTE: similar to the aroma with initial oxidized hops (dried grass), followed by an almost neutral malt background. medium-high bitterness with an almost dry and bitter finish. PALATE: medium-low body with medium carbonation. no astringency. OVERALL: it was a good (but worthless) shot at a fresh american IPA (its hard to live in Europe).

Bottle. Golden orange. Decent head. Aroma of mangos, citrus fruits and pine. Taste is mangos, honey and malts. Bitter finish. Nice IPA, would have been probably much better if served fresh. Goes well with homemade Sushi.

Slightly hazy golden color, topped with a medium sized white foamy head, not really lasting. Pleasant fruity nose, citruses with some piney background and a bit of biscuity malt. Moderately bitter with some malty sweetness lingering in the back, Aftertaste generously bittery, slightly herbal. Lighter body. A proper modern IPA. Very drinkable.

355 ml bottle, from dutyfree inflightservice. ABV is 6%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of orange marmalade, slightly stale. Some piney hops. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is first zesty and citrussy, and ends in a distinct and resinous bitterness. Refreshing.

355ml bottle from Bliznetsy in Moscow. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is pine, tropical fruit and malt. Taste is citrusy hops, light malts and resin. Ok, but didn’t seem very fresh.

355ml bottle. Pours clear golden colour with a thick frothy off-white head. Aroma: hoppy, citrus, pine, malt. Taste: as the aroma, citrus and pine and a bit of malt, bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad but could be a lot better, fairly mild in flavour compared to most American IPAs.

12 oz. bottle, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out dull piney, hops, and cardboard. Flavour is along the same lines, with dull piney hops and cardboard. Shame on the liquor store (Larry's in Point Roberts) for selling this old-ass product.

Bottle from Albert Heijn. Hazy amber colour, white foam. Sweet citrussy and tropical fruitiness. Bitter, rather sweet. Ok IPA.
