★★★☆☆ Not Very 'Red'

The name is a misnomer - the carrots are a light pinkish/orange color and only become darker pink when cooked. Outside of that minor quibble, the flavor is pretty good and the carrots have some longevity after harvest. The size was, unfortunately, a bit smaller than anticipated. I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
★★★★☆ Large and Bright

Planted in early May in one long row, did not thin them out at all and had a HUGE harvest from days 60-75. Not quite as bright red as the photo, but very tasty and sweet.
