Only 3 weeks from original brew date as of today. In secondary at this time. Color is a medium rich red . The deep malty flavor is incredible. The body of the beer is light. Will keg this beer and larger outside at fall / winter temperatures of the Pacific Northwest for at least 3 months. This is the best flavored beer I have ever tasted. This is no doubt my most basic and favorite beer.
