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.

Clear golden, moderate white dense frothy head. Average retention. Notable lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, honey, melon, blossom, a bit dusty. Vague for the style. Medium body. Oily to creamy mouthfeel. The flavour shows nectar sweetness partnering with nice smooth citric bitterness. The latter is not that fresh as the beer is quite old. Still it’s well made and convincing.

Fluffy, clinging off-white head over well-carbonated, yellow-golden beer. Fresh citrussy hops dominating the nose. Further hay, mowed grass. Bit skunky, rather bitter and piney hops. Grapefruit peel. Not very well-bodied, well-carbonated. Bit oily-slick. Actually, quite nice IMO. What an unusual find - in a small town Albert Heijn supermarket...

Pours orange gold from the bottle with a moderate foamy white head that lingers. An appetizing, tropical aroma greets the nose, lots of citrus and pineapple. Taste is dry up front, smooth, alleviating into a mildly bitter and lightly tropical sweet finish with just a hint of warmth. Medium bodied, assertive, but very well balanced. Excellent.

Bottle. Golden color with good foam. Aroma: sweet nectar of tropical fruits, flowers and a light citrus breeze. Taste: sweetness of honey and malt, fruit jam, a hint of tangerine, pleasant hop bitterness.

Bottle, 355 ml from Ammersin, Wien. Shared with JFK10000. Pours hazy golden, white head. Malty, citrus hoppy, fruity, sweetish with medium bitterness in the finish. OK, but expected more hops.
