HALIFAX, NS – Propeller Brewing has announced the addition of a new beer to it’s rotating seasonal line-up that is a fitting choice for a mid-March release.
Propeller Irish Red is a 5% abv ale that is described as “a tribute to the classic red ales of Ireland.”. Arriving just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, it has the following tasting notes:
Propeller Irish Red is a full-bodied yet refreshing ale with a complex malt aroma and character. Pale, Crystal, Roasted and Melanoidin malts give this brew its dark ruby red appearance and complex flavours. Willamatte hops balance the malt flavours with a subtle touch of woody hop character.
Propeller Irish Red will be officially launched tomorrow (Thursday March 13th) and will be available in 650 ml bottles at private liquor stores in Nova Scotia, in bottles and growlers at both Propeller retail locations, and on draught at select pubs and restaurants while quantities last.

- Greg C. is drinking a Heir Apparent by Lickinghole Creek Craft Brewery at King & DufferinPepper beers aren’t usually my thing but this is an exception. Great balance to all the flavours and abv is not obvious at all. Impressive!
- Greg C. is drinking a Tripel Thread by Kensington Brewing Company at King & Dufferin11 months old. I tend to prefer my Tripels on the drier side, but this is still a pretty good one. Tart gooseberry notes cut the sweetness.
- Greg C. is drinking a Monogamy (Callista) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot very familiar with Callista hops but they work well here, bringing notes of apricot, gooseberry, blueberry & a slight floral edge.
- Greg C. is drinking a S.P.A. Special Pale Ale by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinQuite a while since I had this last & it seems to have improved. Overall character is that of an authentic malt-forward UK pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a Farmhouse Dark by Stack Brewing at The Craft Brasserie & GrilleSharp & sour up fromt. Bit of caramel malt but not much else behind. Thin body struggles to carry the flavour. OK but needs refinement.
