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.

375ml bottle at Farees'. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is funky with some sweetness and berries. Similar taste, almost flat. Quite good though.

Bottle - cloudy gold, headless - doesn't look attractive, but everything else hits the mark - nose of funky tropical fruit and crusty bread - complex buggy/funky flavor, with moderate acidity, later subdued malty notes of honey and crusty bread - bright, dry, wine-like finish - very tasty.
