New inks! Those are always the best kinds of inks, if you ask me. I also like inks in this odd sort of brownish tone. It's a color that I was tempted to file under the "swamp vibes" category, but I'm not sure it really fits. It does match the slightly tarnished look of one of my bronze pens. Not a full tarnish, and not a shiny bronze, but like a slightly used bronze pen color. It's neat.

The Review Page
Cool color, good flow, an excellent chromatography, and a really attractive price point. What's not to love in a brown ink?
Some Close-Ups
Copy Paper Test
Both of these nibs are on the wider side (even though one is marked "fine"), and so the performance on this bottom-tier paper is pretty average, I'd say.
Other Papers
This first one is a wheat straw paper, which is fairly normal, but really good for fountain pen ink. Something like sugarcane paper.
Color Comparisons
That Birmingham Pen Co. ink is fairly close, but a bit more yellow than Bronze Age. I'm not sure if they make that ink anymore, either.
So, for $9.25? I think it's totally worth it.
