Commercial Description:
Sgt. Major's I.P.A is a robust, "west-coast" style I.P.A. with a tasty white-grapefruit/spice/resin flavour and aroma, making the ale wonderfully refreshing. Its bitterness (68 I.B.U.) is obtained throught the use of copious amounts of Chinook hops. The malts are pale, crystal 60,and chocolate. Available on draught year 'round and soon in 6 packs (bottles) at the LCBO.

Trade from jerc. The pour was a real pretty amber-gold, Nice whit head, left above average lacing.Nose has hints of lemon and malts and spruce hops. The taste is hoppy, but not smack you around, More grapefruit and lemon, Very pleasant after taste. Quite a nice beer, Thanks Jerc!

Trade from jerc. The beer pours to a nice orange bronze body with a cool white head that looks rocky and leaves gorgeous airy lacing all over the glass. The aroma is really strong and full of grapefruits, Chinook hops, pine, and has subtle floral qualities. Smell is wonderful. The flavor is quite unique. Grapefruit rinds, biscuits, bitter hop oils. Quite a good brew. The palate is medium bodied, full of oils, and has a generic bitterness. I’d say it’s much higher than 68 IBU’s...If this was available in the U.S. more easily, I’d buy a sixer now and then.

Bottle. Nice amber body with moderate carbonation. Its off-white foamy head is thick and lasting. Pleasant and relatively complex malty/hoppy aroma with roasty, spicy and fruity (mainly raisin) notes. Enjoyable hoppy taste with these grapefruit hints that are typical to the west coast hops. Ends with a sharp and long bitter finish. This very good IPA is probably one of Ontario’s best beers.

A hazy orange beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is sweet grassy and hoppy. The flavor is sweet grassy combined with slight notes of metal and citrus.

At Argo0’s: a very light aroma. The color was an off orange. A very, very weak ipa with only a small hop flavor

Bottle thanks to Argo0: Midly hazy copper-bronze body with a medium beige head. The aroma is hops (pine, sap, earth, resin) without being overwhelmingly bitter - in fact it’s fairly mild as far as IPA’s go. The taste has plenty of fruit notes, grassy/pine hops, biscuit-like malt, and a hint of salty/bitter yeast. I like beers that shows off a hint of yeast without detracting from the flavors. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, good hop aroma and flavor without the bite.

Copper with moderate head production, a few bubbles in the body. Gentle hop aroma, suggesting good malt balance, pine character dominant. Moderate bitterness, peppery bite, somewhat flat palate, moderately oily. Thanks Argo0 for letting me have it out of his fridge.

Lightly hazed amber color with a full beige head. Mild grapefruit mixed with light strawberries and caramel. A very pleasant nose. Mild dry malt flavors travel throughout the swallow. Sweetness id kept in check but the straightforward bitterness. Mild pine and citrus. A touch of cleaning fluid late, but a nice mild caramel coated malt linger. This one was lucky enough to be inspected by the US Customs and Border Protection, repackage and sent on its way. Thanks Denis. Many thanks to all involved.
