Hello all,

Got a chance to re-aquaint myself with Scotch Irish products at a tasting at the Arrow and Loon last Tuesday, in Ottawa.

They had the cask Session and the dry hopped version, both of which had a wonderful floral hop signature, the dry hopped version having a more "grapefruity" (Agrume) taste.

Perry, Is the dry hopped session and Sgt Major Ipa the same? I have asked for the Sgt, and they told me session was equivalent.

BTW check your private message.

Aren't the "cask" and "dry-hopped" versions of the Session Ale the same beer? I thought that Session Ale was a regular kegged beer, while the Dry Hop Border Bitter was a casked & dry-hopped version of the Session.

As for Sgt, Major's IPA, it's listed as a completely different beer on the Scotch Irish website.

I went to the Loon last night and had a pint of real ale. They have it listed and signed as Session (dry hop), but it is Sgt. Major's...no doubt about it! I informed them of the error. Sorry for any confusion.
