Propeller IPA (Nova Scotia)

Taste +2

I like a good strong IPA, or a very mild IPA. This one is in between; with a faint nose of piney hops and caramel malts. The taste was very similar, rather watery medium feel with a slight ice-cool backbone. You could only pick up slight piney hop resin but not citrus. Only a trace of vanilla sweetness.

Aftertaste +1

There was more of a malt sweetness than you would expect from an IPA. It lingered a little, but then it was gone.

Alcohol Content +1 6.5%

IPA's must be strong to be flavourful IMHO.

Value 0

I originally gave it a +1. Then I tried the Granville Island Brockton IPA and decided this was a better mass produced IPA.

Ingame Enhancement 0

More Elvis Costello talk (variety) show distain. I felt like reaching into the TV and tightening Elvis's cravat until he shut up.

Overall 4/10

This is an OK IPA; certainly better than that other Nova Scotia IPA Alexander Keiths. It was no where as good as Stone IPA or Brockton's IPA.
