Tasting Notes
Crisprefreshingstone fruit
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
Despite its thorny exterior, the prickly pear cactus fruit is delightfully juicy, mildly sweet, and pleasantly tart. Pouring a beautiful pale pink, this brew invites you to a sun-kissed desert oasis with every sip.
Method
The golden Lagered Ale is light in colour and malt character. This style’s fermentation process yields a light, vinous character which is accompanied by a slightly dry, crisp finish. Ale yeast is used for fermentation, then the beer is lagered for an extended period of time to create an exceptionally crisp and clean mouthfeel.
Prickly Pear puree is added to the beer during conditioning.
