On tap at Faculty, pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out lots of floral botanical, with perfumey gin notes. Flavour is very perfumey and floral, dominated by the Odd Society gin. Man, I really just don't like Odd Society's gin; every beer I've had around town aged in these barrels is brutal and lacking any other characteristic besides the harsh botanicals.

Golden amber. Not much head. Sweet, sticky amber with light lavender influence from the lavender bomb that is Odd Society Gin. Interesting elements, but the stickiness of the base beer is a bit of a bad mix for this gin character.
