Brewed for the Welcome Hotel's "Beer Mimics Food" event at Sydney Craft Beer Week. Tried there on nitro-pour, although the Welcome Hotel had given up on using the sparkler after the first couple of pours, so I'm not sure anyone actually got the purported meringue head that this beer was supposed to have.
Instead, we get a hazy orange hue, heavy in the body, but with almost no head whatsoever. In fact, it looked completely flat, despite the fine nitrogenation bubbles running through the body. It's a shame, but mostly put down to the servers.
Nose has a savoury tone to it, like puff pastry. Some sweet lemon aromas and a hint of sulphur. It's fairly interesting at least, and it's probably matching its spec, but it's a bit light overall.
Taste is also a bit light on the front, with a fresh citrus character coalescing into a bitter lemon flavour on the mid-palate. Long cling on the back, more of that bitter citrus skin note along with a touch of sweet pastry. Finish is actually rather bitter—more than I expected. Feel is light.
Overall, it's not bad. It did a pretty decent job at what it was intending to do. It would have been more impressive with the head, which would have given it a visual cue as well, but as it stood, it was still one of the more solid entries in the Beer Mimics Food day.
