Just bottled this. Could be a bit redder if you like the really red. Taste is smooth, almost sweet. Very nice! Should fare well with non-beer heads and home brewers. Carbing up in the bottle now. Will post again in a week or so.

Delicious! Malty, and about 80% bubbly in one week of conditioning. For the deeper red-heads, possibly up the Special B a bit. Still fabulous as is!
