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 Put A Cherry On Hop - Across the Nation by Red Racer at King & Dufferin9 months old so hops have receded a bit, but the cherry notes are still there & have an interesting spiced character. Not very milky though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Breaking Point by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinTicks all the boxes for the style - hazy, hoppy, juicy, full & soft on the palate. Hides the 8.5% very well. Nice stuff.
- Greg C. is drinking a Candle Burner by Wellington Brewery at King & DufferinI’m usually not a fan of coffee IPAs - the combo rarely works for me - but this hits the right balance with coffee that’s fruity not roasty.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Ugly by Henderson Brewing Co at King & DufferinDark & sweet Belgian ales aren’t usually my bag but this is a pretty good one. Notes of coffee, cocoa, dark cherry, bit of peppery yeast.
- Greg C. is drinking a Convergence w/ Strawberry, Rhubarb, Raspberry by Kensington Brewing Company at King & DufferinStrawberry is there, raspberry and rhubarb less so. Base beer isn’t overly sour but still a nice tartness. Mellow but enjoyable.
