Commercial Description:
The pride of McGuire's! Our red ale was the first beer we brewed and remains our most popular. Beer gurus Michael Jackson and Fred Eckhardt have both praised its smooth and malty character. N.Brewer and Hallertau Hops are balanced by two row and caramel malts in our best selling ale.

on tap-pours a thin retaining white head and gold color. Aroma is grainy-caramel/some peat, faint fruity hops. Taste is medium malt/grainy-caramel/some peat, balancing faint fruity hops. Towards medium body.

This draft brew from a beer festival poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange colored body and an excellent lacing. The weak aroma was malty. The smooth mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish with a mellow malty aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of mild hops and mild malt. An OK brew just nothing special.

Light amber color with a sticky head. Balanced malt aroma with hop flourish. Almost a smoky flavor, smooth, lightly malty. Excellent.

Draft. Small fizzy tan with short retention span, transparent body, fair amount of lacing, and a golden hue. The aroma was lightly malty, lightly hoppy, caramel, and bready. Ditto for the flavor along with a dry finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a light bodied beer. A very easy to drink beer, easy on the palate and would be a decent session beer.

Pours clear copper with nice half inch off white head and some cobweb lacing. Nice looking beer. The aroma is mild bringing up some sweet maltiness and faint vague hoppiness that seems to border on being pine in nature. The aroma is really light and tough to discern. The taste goes from lightly roasted malts to more medium roasted or 90L type crystal malts mixed with some pine hop bitterness. The feel is a bit thin but not too bad considering the style. The mild pine hop bitterness and medium roasted malts head right off into the finish and after taste. Tasty offering.

Pensacola: Clear warm amber color with off-white thick head. Bready nose is sweet and inviting. Good straightforward body. Thin but flavorful. Lots of breadiness. Hopped for balance. Dry finish.

Destin: Clear amber, clinging tan head. Mild malty aroma, the butter here in integrated well. Bready and similar in character to the Pensacola version. Low carbonation. Diacetyl is here but not offensive. The breadiness saves it. Served in a frosty mug--doh! too cold
