I HATE gin, both straight and in cocktails, and I think that is important to note for this review.

Pours a (gorgeous)rich honey golden bordering on amber when the light catches it. Thin white head that settles in a very thin ring. 4

Aroma off the can is very botanical with some citrus notes coming from the Amarillo and centennial hops. The gin is also present yet not overwhelming. 4

Gin forward, very herbal/botanical as gin is, however the IPA-ness isn't lost at all. Bitter, hoppy and the barrel leaves behind a touch of wood. Honey sweetness perfectly joins the IPA and gin. 4.5

Biting sharpness at first, followed by a light booze warming and a lovely dry finish I suspect from the honey. 4.25

Overall I'm not left disappointed and am actually quite impressed Bewilder took a spirit I can't stand and made a beer I'll absolutely be returning to as often as I can. 4.25
