This brew showcases ample hop bitterness along with a citrus nose of hops from the Pacific Northwest balanced by the richness from the use of two row pale, crystal and rye malts. Propeller Rye IPA pours a deep amber colour with a creamy tan head. The generous addition of rye malt accentuates a spicy, crisp finish.

One 341ml bottle of a 6 pack brought from NSLC. A very good Rye IPA. One of my favourite from Propeller.

Recommend by the guy at Propeller Brewery. Sweet malts, that floral thing that comes with rye, some mild, mild resin, pine with also some mild bitterness. Meh.

Can: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good amount of lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light piney notes with some subtle spicy undertones. Taste is a satisfying mix of citrusy hops notes with light piney notes with some spicy rye malt notes also noticeable. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but rye malt could be more dominant.

Bottle - Bit of cardboard and citrus with a touch of rye. Clear gold with a frothy light head. Sweet and bitter hops with a bit of a kick. Finish tastes bad.

Hazy golden color, generous head. Mild spicy and hopy aroma, peppery. Dry mouthfeel, a bit peppery, spicy, but I also get a feeling of cabbage and butter; resiny and woody hopping.
Not a bad beer, but also not the kind of IPA that I would enjoy.

650mL bottle, pours a hazy dark golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out notes of rye upfront, with subdued earthy hops and toasted caramel. Flavour is quite spicy, with lots of earthy hops, spiciness from the rye, a bit of banana, and toasted bready malt. Seems slightly off with those banana notes, but it's not offensive. It's okay, but perceptibly flaw.

Bomber from NSLC on my trip to Nova Scotia. Pours a slight hazy amber colour with a beautiful warm, creamy cap that stays very long and creates full thick foam lacing. Very sweet aromas of fruits (prunes, dates), honey, grassy hops and orange jelly. The taste is thankfully less sweet with the hops being a little stronger. The fruity malts are still present. Maybe a bit of rye in the finish. Still hard to find overall, so a decent brew, but not sure the style should of come out this way.

Bottle from the brewery. It pours lightly hazy amber with a decent white head. The nose is soft, juicy, piney, spice, caramel, rye bread and some stewed orange. The taste is bitter, some sweet toffee, chewy malt, brown bread, quite spicy, rye, varnish and pine with a dry finish. Medium body, average carbonation and chewy mouth-feel. Quite chewy, overly so. Not bad.
