    JuicySmoothTropical

First opening their doors in 1997, Propeller Brewing Company has gone from a small brewery on Gottingen St. brewing a Pale Ale and an Extra Special Bitter to become one of the largest brewery’s in Nova Scotia and a driving force in this industry. Owner John Allen has allowed the business to grow and branch into multiple locations and a comprehensive product line that includes beer, ready to drink cocktails, and craft sodas. They have won awards both locally and nationally for a wide array of products and continue to experiment with new styles and old favourites.

Tasting Notes

Propeller Galaxy started as a seasonal offering but quickly turned into a full time core product. This IPA is very tropical and silky smooth, focusing largely on intense juicy hop flavour and aroma and less on bitterness. No wonder why this beer has quickly become one of Nova Scotia’s most popular IPA’s.

Method

Propeller’s Galaxy IPA boldly takes you into the delicious dimension of New England IPA. Huge on hop aroma and flavour without as much of the intense bitterness. Australian Galaxy hops explore rich pineapple, peach, and tropical citrus aromas.  Citra and Mosaic hops add undertones of tangerine and mango.

Our Thoughts

Hazy and bursting with ripe tropical fruit, Propeller’s Galaxy IPA is textbook New England-style. Despite the heavy influence of hops, Galaxy is the perfect beer for anyone who doesn’t think they like hoppy beers; the hops here are used to emphasize juicy tropical fruit flavours and aromas rather than bitterness, making for a smooth, off-dry drinking experience.

    I gave this a try because it was recommended by lots of my friends. It strikes me as a good gateway IPA. It’s fruity not not overly hoppy. I’ll definitely be drinking this again.
