A "Beer Mimics Food" beer brewed by Murray's in collaboration with Myffy Rugby from Timeout Magazine. I believe the concept was to create a spiced crumble beer without actually adding any spices: just from fermentation, yeast and the malt bill. Interesting concept. Tried on-tap at the Welcome Hotel during Sydney Craft Beer Week.
Pours a hazy amber colour with a touch of red to it. Body is fairly light, especially for 7.5% ABV. Head is white and quite bright, forming a fine ring with some larger bubbles. It leaves a little fine lace as it goes down. Looks decent.
Nose is slightly perfumey. Some berry aromas and a suggestion of vegetative sweetness. Pepper characters come through along with a Belgian, rubbery note. Something salty as well, almost like oysters. I can't quite work it out, but it's interesting at least.
Very light, mild entry on the palate that only leads to a thin rather reedy character on the mid-palate: carbonic without much sweetness or body. Quinine bitterness on the back leaves it a bit harsh. There's not much else to it. Were it not meant to be some sort of spiced crumble beer there might be something admirable about it.
Feel is very thin.
Overall, it's pretty weak, and I certainly didn't pick up any of the "mimicking food" aspect of the brew. Probably better to write this down as an experiment. It didn't really do anything for me.
