A mixed fermentation blonde ale aged for nearly 18 months on plums that were first used to infuse a navy-strength gin from Copperworks Distilling. Lightly tart and slightly dry with notes of cherry, spice, plum, and fragrant botanicals.

5oz pour at Ballard location. Pours murky golden orange with almost no head. Aroma has funky yeast, plums, cheap gin. Flavour has a lot of gin-like aromatics, some plum and wood underneath. If I wanted to drink shitty gin I'd just buy a bottle. This is a mess.

Looks not great, dull pale amber, big gin botanical aroma, juniper, cardamom, black pepper. On the palate, sourish, slick and buttery -some shit gone wrong here. Slimy. Fuck.

On tap at Reuben's, pours a clear muddled cooper, barely any head. Aroma is full of herbal, gin barrels, floral notes, and a hint of wild yeast. Flavour is full of shitty gin, herbal botanicals, perfumey cleaner, and a hint of buried wild stuff. Man, that's just not good. Bad gin, perfumey, botanical-y. Poor.
