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!

This classic amber pours deep red with notes of caramel malts. The notes of toffee and caramel show on the palate.

On tap at the Salem location. Pours a translucent ruby amber with a medium bubbly off white lacing head. Aroma of caramel sweet malts, some floral and citrus with hints of toffee and nuts. Flavors of toasted sweet malts, some caramel and nuts along with citrus highlights.
