COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A full-bodied, American-Style I.P.A. that is bronze in color, Castaway IPA is "dry hopped" (aged with liberal amounts of whole hop flowers after fermentation) for assertive hop flavor and aroma. The bitterness is balanced by the malty body of the beer.

Pours a bright amber with orange highlights and a finger of white, creamy head. The nose is sweet and fruity with a noticable grapefruit and a slight tropical fruit note. The middle has a sweet caramel and bready malt with a big citrus fruit and light floral notes on the finish accompanying a moderate hop bitterness. Slightly resinous mouthfeel with a mild alcohol presence. Overall, a pretty good IPA.

Tap @ their Honolulu Pub... One of my favorites from our visit. Poured clear amber/orange with a fluffy, white head. Very citrusy in hop flavor with also added pine. It dried out towards the end allowing some alcohol characters to come through too. Some malt sweetness as well as light fruits like passion fruit attempted to balance the bitterness but the hops came through allowing for a nice bitter finish.

Draft at Taphouse. Deep amber with a creamy head. Rich woodsy aroma. Drinks with quite the robust character, almost like an IIPA. Thick and strongly flavored. (#4186, 7/23/2011)

dnstone (1458) - Mons, BELGIUM - APR 2, 2011
Light but malty aroma. Dirty gold in color. Moderate IPA, more malty (or less hoppy) than i prefer.

Pours a nice burnt orange color with with head. Nice lacing. Aroma is sweet with hints of fruit and hops. Taste is hoppy with some malts. The alcohol coming through. Warm. Not bad, but I wouldn’t want to be stranded with this one.
