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.

Bottle. Pours hazy redddish amber, small beige head, dissipates leaving minimal lacing. Aroma is interesting, bready, caramel, ginger apparent, herbal and other spicy notes as well. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter, herbal, ginger, pine/juniper, and yes, some cloves. Certainly less junipery than other Sahti’s I have had, but not bad. Medium body. Becomes a bit sour/tart after it warms.

750 ml corked and waxed bottle. Aroma is extreme Brett funkiness, lemon rind, earth, dusty basement, dough, seedy berry jam, honey. Pours hazy orange with a thick white foamy head with excellent retention. Taste is tart, dry, lightly sweet, earthy, herbal. Carbonation is foamy like champagne. The aroma is more promising and interesting than the taste and the carbonation is too high for me. Otherwise, it’s solid.

2015 wild series bottle. Aroma is fairly acidic with some nice lemon and orange notes. Some light tropical fruit and lighter stone fruit and pear. Spruce is light but it compliments the citrus nicely. Pours a cloudy orange with a large, slightly off white head of moderate thickness that initials recedes quickly then slows. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with some citrus, melon and overripe fruit. Light pineapple and cherry pie. Medium light phenolic note from the spruce with some moderate bitterness. Light alcohol notes. Some light honey character as well. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but like last night’s there is a muddles overripe fruit ester character that makes this less crisp and clean than it should be. Tasty, but slightly missing the mark.
