On tap at the Welcome Hotel during Sydney Craft Beer Week.
Pours a coppery amber colour with large webbed bubbly head. Quite cloudy, looks nice, if a little bland.
Smells slightly tart, but not a huge wham of aroma. Touch of raspberry and rhubarb, some sweetness. Not highly distinct but nice enough.
Taste is more tart, quite dry. Raspberry notes, with plum, blueberry and a touch of detergent. Nice tart notes, not sure what I'm meant to be tasting but its pretty nice.
Thin body, but slight texture with a bit of pull on the back.
Nice drop: fairly good balance and drinkable, a little bit watery but otherwise nice.

Brewed by Birbeck's in collaboration with chef Poh Ling Yeow, this was a "Beer Mimics Food" beer brewed for the eponymous event at the Welcome Hotel during Sydney Craft Beer Week, where I tried it on-tap.
Pours a pinkish copper salmon colour, very solidly hazed. Body has a little heft to it despite its ABV. Head forms a very pale pinkish crest that stays around in a light ring. Lots of solid carbonation. Looks pretty nice all up.
Nose is bright and rustically fruity. Some rhubarb, a bit of acid, some carbonic aromas above a buttery biscuit base. Not all that strong, but it's matching the spec at least.
Light fruit on the front of the palate, perhaps unripe pineapple. Raspberry comes through on the middle, again with a bit more acidity—almost vinous at this point. It drops off pretty quickly on the back, leaving just the memory of that acid. It makes it seem more empty than it is.
Feel is also a bit light.
Not bad overall though. It has some nice fruit characters, and it works relatively well. It wasn't one of the highlights of the day, but it was part of the solid core at least.
