Red Storm Rising

I've come up with the label for BB-XI - Rising Storm Red Ale.

Coming as it does on the heels of my experimental Black Lager, I wanted the next beer in the pipeline to be something simple, something predictable, something expected.  But I also want something I've not made before.

Rising Storm will be a stock Mr. Beer Red Ale kit.  The end product will have a mere 3.7% Alcohol By Volume, and be a Class 2 Red Ale with 7 SRM and 12 IBU.  If I keep to schedule, it should be brewed in 2 weeks - the target date is the weekend of July 14th - and it should be ready to drink one month later.

And yes, in case you're wondering, the name is a knock-off of the Tom Clancy novel.
