PROS 

• Bottle is easy to fill from.
• Interesting, attractive shade. 
• Bottle is tinted to save your ink from UV exposure. It also comes in a box, making it easy to stack.
• Pretty easy to clean.
• Well-behaved.
• Easy to store on your shelf in the box.

CONS

• Each bottle is wrapped in plastic wrap. I realize this is likely to prevent leaking but it feels wasteful to me.
• If you use this in a very wet application, it can take a long time to dry and remain a little smudgy. 
• KWZI inks have a particular smell - some describe it as vanilla. Myself, I do not like it at all. I suffer the smell for the joy of their colors. Fortunately, the smell does not linger on the page, but I feel I must warn you in the event that you find smelly inks off-putting. 

OVERALL

This one is an interesting color. I like it - not so bright a yellow that it is illegible, but not quite a full brown either. A neat shade that I think looks particularly beautiful in wide calligraphy nibs!
