Pours an amber colour, slightly cloudy with foamy beige head. Bit listless but otherwise looks nice.
Smells quite sweet, slight spice with vinous hints, maybe some berry and plum characters. Overall quite fruity and fairly sweet.
Taste is far more vinous. Impressive actually how dominant the red wine is. Touch of caramel malt on the front, but then a darkish red wine character comes through late, with a slight Belgian touch to it, Malty but vinous, doesn't quite mesh but intriguing.
Body is sadly a little thin, could use a bit more texture to it.
Some nice notes but not a whole lot. Ultimately tastes a little bland and a little confused.

Brewed for GABS 2014, made with Red X malt and grape juice from the Hunter Valley. Tried on-tap at the festival.
Solid amber in the body, quite clear but very lightweight. Minimal carbonation, even when tilted. Head is very firm, however, forming a white crest that sticks around even as it doesn't provide much in the way of lace. Looks okay though.
Light orange blossom fragrance on the nose with a neutral malt character that turns slightly amber or toffeed part way through. There's also a rather unpleasant acidic note that comes through (like the first suggestions of butyric, even if not quite that).
Taste is a little better. Clean orange notes make an appearance on the front, with some weak sweetness through the centre of the palate. Flaccid, grainy malt flops through to a fairly smooth, but fairly light aftertaste, spiked with just a little bitterness.
Weak in the feel, which is not really that surprising.
Overall, it's drinkable, but really quite unexciting. While there's nothing truly offensive about it, it also just feels a little pointless.
