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.
