Growler, reads Witch City Red. Carbonation is lack a bit possible because its been 2 weeks in the growler. Despite that, its really good. Some hops and sugary sweet malts. Awesome for a Amber/Red.

Good balanced flavor with average head and bitterness. Malty aroma with a little sweetness. I’d like to try this again.

Named the "Victory Red" when I tasted it before game 7 of the ALCS in 2007. Robust, malty and caramelly sweet nose. Poured a deep browish-golden amber with a medium-sized well-carbonated head and body. Sufficient lacing. Bready and slightly sweet, a well-crafted amber that helped the Sox take the pennant!
