McGuires Irish Pale Ale (IPA)

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Not my favorite IPA, but well worth sampling. It has a good golden color with a nice head. A pleasant citrusy taste with light hoppiness indicative of this type of brew. Clean finish.

Aroma is malty and sweet with nice hoppy accentuation as well as bitter grapefruit and maybe some slight mango or pineapple. Appearance is a bronze-orange in color with a thin, white head on top that dissipates to a light and sticky lacing. Mouthfeel is medium-bodied with nice hoppy complexity as well as malty balance with a palate that is crisp and clean. Flavor is hoppy, chewy, malty and has an aftertaste that is bitter and grapefruity and is nicely hopped with a sharp finish that is very drinkable. Overall, nice brew here for sure and has a nice aftertaste for an IPA style.

Poured a slight golden color with amber hues and a very nice initial head that persisted well. The lacing was great, very typical of the style, of course. The aroma was of floral, pine, and light citrus. The flavor followed suite, maybe a semi-sweet pale malt base with said hops on display. Mouthfeel was somewhat refreshing for the style.
