McGuires Wild Irish Raspberry Wheat

Brewed by McGuires Irish Pub & Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Pensacola, Florida USA

8/6/03: on tap in Destin.
nice fruity aroma. light-medium orange body with a tiny bit of lace. sour raspberries, malt and floral flavors with a fruity, clean finish. it may sound odd, but this one is also pretty good mixed as a half-en-half with their stout. 4.8%abv

Honey colored beer with a tinge of redness. Slight head. Nice malty arom with a hint of berry. Taste is malty with a hint of berry. Nice but not overpowering. Nice refreshing beer.

Draft at Destin location. Clear copper color in the glass with a white head that left light lacing. Big aroma of raspberries and some wheat in the background. The flavor was of wheat, bread, a mild amount of raspberry. Medium body and a bready aftertaste.

This was a light and refreshing beer. There was light carbonation and a distinct raspberry flavor that lingers on the tongue. Nice mellow beer. This is not usually what you would go to an Irish pub for, but I tried a sampler on my last visit.

On tap at the brewpub: poured light orange/pink with a small white head. Moderate raspberry aroma. Flavor is raspberry of course but mildly so. Slight sourness present also. A nice beer that’s well made and goes down smooth.

This one is a bit unique. Has that tart taste from the rasberry, but the fuity flavor really overpowers the wheat. Not very balanced.

Draught at the pub in P’cola. Pinkish hazy in glass. Aroma is fruity. Flavor is nicely done raspeberry blended well with grain. I enjoyed this one.

sampler at brewpub, Destin, FL pours clear ruby/copper white head. aroma of raspberry, light hops. taste, raspberry puree remaining a little light, wheat and some fruit tartness. Would have loved to see more fruit presence.
