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 an Icebreaker by Whitewater Brewing Co. at King & DufferinThe nuances of the Brut style still elude me, but this seems sufficiently dry with notes of citrus and green grape. Too hazy, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Summerweiss Tropical Wheat by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinI could be wrong, but the fruit flavours seem a bit duller this year. They’re still there, but are secondary to the weissbier notes.
- Greg C. is drinking a R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
- Greg C. is drinking an Unifeye by Lost Craft at King & DufferinA step up from most so-called “premium” lagers. Sweetness is kept in check & body is very clean. Nice finish, sharp & balanced. Well done.
