Pours an amber colour with a pink tinge. White head, sticks around OK but not brilliantly. Looks fine.
Smells of nothing, really. Touch of tart fruit lingering at the back but light and not much else, really. Meh.
A bit more fruit on the palate. Malty as well, with notes of vanilla and toffee on there. Mostly sweet, light and desserty with just hints of fruit around the edges.
Thin body, but otherwise feels OK.
Sessionable beer. There's just enough character there to enjoy, but not very substantial.

Tried on-tap at GABS 2014 in Melbourne. A "bright ale with berry infusion" according to the brewers.
Pours a pinkish golden colour, very clear in the body and extremely lightweight. Some thin carbonation forms around the edges, feeding a very light, just pinkish white head that persists as a firm ring. Looks decent enough.
Nose is fairly week. Some jammy sweetness comes through depositing its dollop of berry character, running alongside a fairly generic grainy malt presence. It's a bit weak all up.
Light entry to the palate that immediately makes the beer feel pretty empty. Through the centre the fruit tried to give it an upturn of sweetness, but this is short-lived, leaving almost nothing towards the back. Very weak indeed.
Feel is also fairly paltry, but with a stickiness to it from the fruit.
It doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. The berry addition may paper over the fact that this is at heart a bland beer, but it doesn't change its core.
