From Kona:
Kona Brewing Company (NASDAQ: BREW) has announced that Castaway IPA, an island favorite for the past 14 years, will finally be coming ashore to the U.S. mainland beginning April 14, 2014. The Hawaiian-style IPA was born on the islands and will now be available in 12oz bottles and on draught in major Kona markets across the U.S., all of which are listed on the company’s online Beer Locator.
Castaway IPA is part of Kona’s Aloha Series and pours copper-colored with touches of tropical mango and passion fruit and bold, citrusy hops. It’s balanced by rich caramel malts and has a clean, crisp finish. This new Hawaiian-style IPA enters the mainland having won several national craft beer awards and will join year-round Kona favorites Longboard Island Lager, Big Wave Golden Ale, and Fire Rock Pale Ale.
Said Kona Brewmaster Billy Smith: “IPAs are one of the fastest-growing segments in today’s craft beer industry, and we think mainland craft beer lovers will appreciate how distinctive Castaway is from many current IPA offerings. The citrus, tropical and mango influences combine with what you’d expect from a typical IPA to create a drinking experience that takes you back to the islands, where Castaway came from.”
