Not for the faint of heart. True India Pale Ales had to withstand long sea voyages before slaking the thirst of cranky British troops stationed in the heat of India. Bracing, bitter, higher in alcohol. Trademark Propeller quality. A full-bodied ale for full-throttle beer lovers. Drink fresh.

A well laced white head on a golden body. The nose features honey, citrus and sweet malt. A really solid middle of the road IPA. The hops are engaging without being overpowering, featuring some lemon, melon and other tropical elements. Chewy biscuit malt and that touch of honey round it out.

A 341ml bottle from the Wheelhouse in Digby. A very good IPA with a good level of bitterness.

great sticky lacing, and fluffy white head. Aroma of resinous, piney, citric hops, and a little malt. Pretty one sided here.
hints of orange, and the flavor is quite a bit more balanced, the malt makes a distinct appearance. the finish is very bitter, and really clings to the back of my throat. A nice IPA.

Flight at brewery. Pours clear golden. Aroma is a bit of pine and sweet mats. Flavour has some pine, resin, some sticky malts. Moderately hoppy. Not bad.

Tap @ Propeller Brewing Company, Gottingen Street, Halifax. Nice head with good duration. Color is holden. Aroma and taste are rich hops, flowers, grass and malt. Nice bitter finish.

On tap. Pours a slightly hazy gold-orange with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, grapefruit, cantaloupe and piney hops. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, grapefruit, grass and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. A pretty solid and well made IPA.

Little sweetness to the malt, the hops go with bitterness and pine. It's only ok.

Decent foamy head and soft fogginess in a yellow body. Strong hops aroma of no particular discernation, meaning not too complex or exciting. Flavour is sour citrus and lots of hops but more on the bitter end. Crisp finish with good oiliness. Not my kind of ipa, needs more flair and finesse to stand out.
