Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber color with thin off white head that dissipated quickly. Biscuity malt aroma with a touch of sprucy hops. Dry on the tongue and a bit spicy. Nice malty caramel flavor. Decent red.

Very hoppy with less bitterness than the IPA. Nice. The "redness" may be overstated.

On tap at the brewpub, listed as Red Victory: Clear orange/red with a small white head, light malts in the aroma, watery mouthfeel with light carbonation, starts and ends lightly bitter. I may have rated this too highly as I was so happy not to be drinking the iced tea beer.

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!
