I ordered a MoreBeer Red Ale extract kit and failed to realize that it was Liquid Malt Extract, which I haven't had good success with. I am going to modify this with additional hops and minerals to dial in the flavor. This will be no boil and no chill.
Treehouse Yeast blend approach, Yeast Pitch is 92% Safale S-04, 5% Safbrew T-58, 3% Safbrew WB-06.
For (3.5/5)*11.5g pitch = 8.05g so S-04 = 7.4g, T-58 = 0.4g, WB-06 = 0.25g, though I'll round each up to the nearest 0.5%.

Pours brown with 2 fingers of stiff foam. Aroma is a mix of candy apple and Pepsi. Flavor is pretty much the same thing though there is a malty flavor on the end, somewhat of a light roast flavor like wheat bread crust, and a touch of bitterness; there's a sort of sharpness to it that I can't pinpoint whether it's the bitterness or the malt roast. Body is medium and the nucleation is a bit sharp. Overall the beer is okay as it's out of balance, very intense in hop and malt, creating a somewhat unpleasant experience given that it's a candy apple flavor. It's interesting but it would be hard to have more than one. 2 stars.
