Description
Propolis was established in June of 2012 with the sole intent to produce high-quality handcrafted herbal ales inspired by Old World tradition, local resources and the rhythms of nature. Our ales are brewed with various wild-crafted herbs and are seasonally based. Many of our Ales blend several styles and are hard to classify by traditional beer guidelines. We are primarily inspired by the farmhouse tradition of France and Belgium, as well as Old World Ales that no longer exist. We are artists and scientists at heart and we aspire to challenge the norm.

Amber, floral and spruce nose. Lots of spruce on the palate, some sweetness and a touch of tartness.

Dark brown, no head. Sharp, distinctive roast, tart and dark fruits with a whack of roast. It’s okay for what it is, though I still have issues with dark sours.

Cloudy, pale, thin head. Lots of brett, has a sweet pale malt note, again with a touch of brett in the finish. Pretty good but could use a shot of added complexity.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of spices, earthy notes and light oak. Flavour is complex, with lots of spices, oak barrels and some wild yeast. Nicely spicy, with lots of complexity. Excellent.

Draught, Darby’s Gastown. Hazy amber-brown...nice head but the body isn’t so attractive. Aroma has light brett, pepper, coriander. On the palate, brett is evident but it’s still quite yeasty with biscuity malts. Herbs aren’t as distinguishable, much more muddled, but fruitier than what came through on the nose.
