473 mL can from the brewery; no packaging date. Served slightly chilled.
Pours a foggy amber-brown with orange highlights; a deliberately rough pour generates one inch of bubbly, off white-coloured head. It melts away over the next three or four minutes, eroding down to a frothy collar and patchy cap; a few strands of lace are scattered about in the process. Malt-forward aroma of toffee, toasted grains and bready, wheaty sweetness; hints of spiciness, too, with maybe a twinge of cocoa.
Similar flavours - malty for the most part, with wheat, toasted grains/bread and caramelized sugars serving as the main fixtures. Minor notes of orchard fruit and clove spice, with toasted wheat and toffee rounding out the back end before persisting into a weakly spicy aftertaste. Light-medium in body, with aggressive carbonation that prickles the palate continuously, remaining lively right down to the last couple of gulps. Not hard to toss back, but one is enough for tonight.
Final Grade: 3.55, a B grade. Unlike the village itself, The Pointiest of Edwards is almost totally unremarkable... although I guess you could argue that this style is so uncommon that it's noteworthy simply to find one in the wild. It's about in line with what I'd expect from a dark wheat ale: a lot of the yeast-derived nuance is minimalized, instead favouring a malt profile that, while palatable, is hardly worth getting excited about. Serviceable for what it is, but it still comes off as a mediocre imitation of a real German dunkelweizen.
