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.

12 oz bottles, 2/26/16. Has a bt of a citrus / fruity hop aroma with some pale malts. Taste is pretty much along the same lines, decently balanced, decently bitter. Pretty solid overall, but doesn't stand out in the style. Thank goodness for RateBeer, because I'm sure I'll consume this again in the future, but without this rating I definitely would not remember how I felt about this time when I do.

Bottle. Light, clean and fruity IPA with low bitterness. Sessionable but not that interesting.

355 ml bottle. Clear, golden body with a big, stable white head. Nice and strong citric fruity aroma with grapefruit and sweetish malt. Flavor has a nice, relatively sweet malt base with some caramel, citric fruit, grapefruit, pine and god bitterness. Medium body and nice, long lasting fruity bitter aftertaste with some malty sweetness. A fine and tasty IPA with decent malt balance.

Bottle to cup. Aroma is moderate low citrus and a little overbalanced to the malt. Clear dark gold with sustained white head. Taste has floral and citrus hops pleasantly present. Moderate bittering at the end. Solid.

Bottle. Aroma of iron and passion fruit. Flavor of soft passion fruit, peach, but unfortunately also iron again. Not a nice first Hawaiian beer.

35,5cl bottle at BareBar, Lillehammer. Pours clear golden golden with a small, but lasting white head. Fairly hoppy aroma with herbal and piney notes, hints of citrus and pale malt. Fairly sweet, hoppy flavours, but not so fresh. Finishes fairly bitter. Quite okay.
