On-tap at the Local Taphouse for the Great Australian Beer SpecTapular.
Pours a standard orange-amber colour. Some haze in the body. Head is fine and white. Gives some great lacing. Looks decent enough, but it's certainly not red. Not a chance.
Minimal characters on the nose. Bready on the front with a bit of crushed grain. Minimal hops. Ends up very dry and weak.
Taste is light and dry, with some corn tortilla characters on the back. A little weak bitterness that doesn't assuage the water character that sits throughout. Slight nuttiness. Feel is light and thin.
A shame. A beer brewed for a good cause, but it was easily the worst beer at the festival. No Pacific Ale, this one, and each time I try a different Stone & Wood beer, I wonder if they just got lucky with that one.

Pours a red-tinged dark amber with gorgeous dense, off-white head, sunk to form some fantastic thick, sticky lace. Pretty cracking drop.
Smells quite grainy. Not bad, fairly sweet, mild with a touch of caramel and a mild grassy note, but yeah, more hopping might be welcome for this particularly palate. A bit stiff and dull, actually. Not a lot here.
Taste is similar, which is a shame. Grainy mostly, with a barley and corny assault. Develops more rich, fermented notes toward the mid with a slight phenolic edge that lasts to the end. Lacking a finish here, with the only bitterness seeming to come from the yeast than anything else so it almost trails off after the mid. I find this a bit dull and uninspiring.
Full enough body for 4.7 but no real texture to speak of, so it's flat without being thin. I think this style would be better coming off a nitro-tap.
This really come across like a mildly fermented malt beverage and needs more beer character to pique my interest. Inoffensive, but I'm not a big fan.

Clear copper colour with a nice, off-white head. Decent head retention.
Mild earthy aroma with little complexity. A touch dull.
Grainy malt dominates the palate. A little dirty with some earthy notes as well.
Medium body with moderate carbonation. Fine.
It's a drinkable beer and brewed for a great cause but the beer itself is a bit boring.
