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.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy dark orange with a medium beige head. Nose brings out lots of toasted grains, earth, oak barrels, and wild yeast. Flavour is quite spicy, with a lovely brett character, oak, earthy rye and toasted grains. Complex all-round, with a rather spicy finish. Excellent.

On tap at St. Augustine during 1500 menu event. Shared with Mark (thx, man!). Pours a hazy golden color with a white head. Aroma is tart with flowery notes. Taste is similar with some herbal notes. Quite pleasant.

Brick red with a light tan head. Near tart cherry, light fruit sweetness, an interesting spice in the finish. Earth notes are prevalent but also overwhelmed with fruit. A very interesting and enjoyable ale. My first sahti but hopefully not my last. (2016 edition)

Tap at Chuck’s. Hazy orange color with small white head. Aroma is grainy, some elderflower. Taste is grainy, dough, peppery, not so much elderflower. Peppery finish. Medium carbonation. Quite good, but not too amazing.
