It looks like one I picked up recently. Close to 'Pink Blush' but not quite. It does not look like 'Christmas Carol' to me (which has less raised bumps on the leaves).

Looking around, Aloe 'Donnie' may fit the bill. =)

Thanks.

I agree about it not quite looking like Pink Blush. Its too dark and the leaves seem narrower.

I haven't been able to find a pic that looks like it at all.

All the same , I like it a lot.

Yours has grown more (larger/longer), but what do you think of this to compare to yours? See link below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Aloe 'Donnie'

If you go to my post ""hybrid aloes" just a ways down, I have both a Christmas Carol and a Donnie. I would say yours is a Christmas Carol...maybe. Lol

Here is a closer pic

From this angle is looks much more brown than green.

From a lower angle the camera "sees" more green, although my eye still sees it less green than the picture shows. I only see hints of green with my eyes.

I think it needs more time to grow and get healthier to get a positive ID.

I'm leaning towards Donnie , now that i see a little green in it.

Well, OK then, but you might know that your difficulty in IDing it is easy to experience, particularly when the plant isn't yet prosperously growing. If I weren't a noob I'd lean towards what Laura's saying, but there's lots I don't know.
