A collaboration between Hunter Beer and McWilliams wine, brewed for the Beer Mimics food event at the Welcome Hotel during Sydney Craft Beer Week. Tried on-tap at the Welcome.

Pours a hazed, rosy amber hue with decent slickness in the glass. Head is a very pale ping forming a large-bubbled ring. Lace is slick and the carbonation is very fine. Looks pretty good.

Fruity, vinous characters on the nose. Some raspberry, a suggestion of rose petals, some cherry and a slight oaky wine-like character. It's nice enough, but not particularly big or complex.

Fruity entry on the palate along with a touch of acid moves to a wheaty, slightly yeasty character on the mid palate. This is lessened by an astringency towards the back and some carbonic fizz. Aftertaste has more of the yeast.

Feel is very light. It's not too bad, but it also has that rather aggressive carbonation which attacks it again.

Overall, it feels a little bit like fruit on top of a fairly mediocre beer. It's not bad, but it's not really either exciting or objectively good either.
