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.

Stubby courtesy of Matt7215. Pours copper with an off white rocky head. Smells of perfume, light citrus, earthy. Tastes of citrus, perfume, wildflowers, a touch of resin, sage. Unusual hop profile, but very refined and enjoyable.

Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad. Pours a cloudy amber with a white ring. Big sweet aroma, of malt, hops, caramel, and dark fruits. Nice bitter-sweet taste, with a bit of hops, caramel, malt, herbs, and a bit of a bite. Lingering clean sharp bitterness. Still drinkable.

Draught at Volo, January 2009. This is a wonderful IPA, copper orange with a small off white head (likely small to fit a full pint in the glass). There are aromas of peach in the hops. It’s really drinkable, approachable and very fresh. Hops in the flavour give way to some inviting layers of apricot and peach and plenty of bitterness.

Bottle at the woodshop quad, at least 2 years old, probably older, age did this beer well. Pours reddish with a tan ring. Nose is sweet and boozy. Taste is sweet mellow and really pretty damn good, no hops left but who cares.

Bottle. Deep jewel tone red-ruby. Incredibly red. Nose is balanced, hoppy but also with meaty caramel malts. Autumnal aromas: crisp, bitter air. Good, quaff-friendly palate. Like an ESB balance of flavors. Roasty, burnt goodness. Very nice.

A fellow LCBO customer saw me buying Mill Street Tankhouse Ale and recommended next time I try this one. I took his advice and was quite pleased. Aroma is quite hoppy with some malty and fruity notes. A hint of caramel also. Flavour about the same with some bitterness. Good job Canada, you’re starting to come around.
