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.

From a 355ml bottle on 1/11/2016. Pours a clearish light golden with not much of a head. Has a light tropical fruit nose. Taste wise, there’s a bit of biscuity malt, some sweet, citrus and stone fruit, followed by a moderate zesty bitterness, with a hint of grapefruit. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Pretty decent, if not exciting.

355ml bottle @ Tavastia. Sweetish, piney and resinous IPA with some caramely maltiness and grassy hops. Doesn’t feel very fresh.
