About This Beer

Chances are you’ve encountered a Fruited Sour reminiscent of a painkiller cocktail in all its luscious pineapple, orange, and coconut tropicality. But a Rum barrel-aged rendition that clocks in at a buzzing 9.12% ABV?

That’s a rare find, indeed!

The Castaway: Painkiller is one feel-good, scrumptious fruit bomb!

Tasting Notes

Stuffed to the brim with bright oranges, sticky-sweet pineapples, and island-fresh coconuts, every sip takes your taste buds to the Tiki bar!

But the crew at Martin House didn't stop at simple Fruited Sour — they aged this Imperial concoction in freshly-emptied Rum barrels for six months! The result shines with even more island-inspired complexity, with notes of molasses and woody vanilla punctuating each sip.

Tart and Fruity. Good Sipper.

Very delicious, tastes like a SanPellegrino, the carbonated lemonade, but obviously with a much more orange forward taste with splashes of coconuts, and perfectly juicy pineapples would definitely recommend

a sour with an above 9% alcohol that doesn’t taste like it. What a fantastic beer! I thrive on sours and this one surprising caught me off guard. I was skeptical at first as I’m not a big coconut guy. the the strong aroma of pineapple and coconut only helped prepare you for when it hits the palate. excellent job with aging it in the rum barrels it was noticeable as you also get a hint of that spice vanilla taste from the barrels. this is the first time I’ve had a beer from this brewery and they just made my list to watch.

Take me away to the Sour Islands. This beer is exactly as it’s described. Really enjoyed the sour notes mixed with the rum cocktails flavors! Perfect for a chair on the beach in Jamaica!

whoo it is a good sour but tough taste. The orange and bourbon battle each other.

That ABV tho! You can definitely tell it's a strong one. But I enjoy it, love the tart fruitiness, and the cool box they came in.

Tart citrus upfront that fades to coconut and pineapple. Has a well balanced rum barrel finish.
