From a can dated 07/11/25, into a pint glass.

Pours a clear gold with a little foam. Aroma is honey and frosted flakes cereal. Flavor is frosted flakes cereal first, followed by a mid tier German lager. There's some apple and honey but mostly carbonated sugary sweetness. Feel is OK, very smooth with low body.

Overall, just a terrible beer before the brewery hosts a festival. Wow. Too sweet and gross. Not the fault of Edmunds Oast but I can't see this beer being better.

Pours clear, gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is cereal grain and vanilla. Light bodied, slightly sweet, moderate carbonation. Average but not a hit from the brewery.

Poured a slightly cloudy, light orange body with decent head. The aroma comes across as nutty with hints of vanilla. Light to medium body, smooth, more vanilla sweetness than nutiness along with a touch of nutty slickness and hints of coconut milk on clean finish so this beer is nice to sip on a hot summer day.

16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace on the glass. It smelled of vanilla, cream, caramel and toffee. Sweet creamy taste with vanilla, caramel and toffee.

Poured into a Reuben's Brew pint glass. Pours a moderately hazy, medium golden amber with a one finger white head that dissipates to patches with slight lacing. Aroma of neutral malt, vanilla and a little coconut. Flavor is light pale malt, vanilla, almond milk, a hint of lemon and coconut. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. A mild blonde ale with an interesting combo of adjunct flavoring that work well together. It reminds me a light almond milk with some coconut; the malt is very much in the background. This generally too tame a style for me and this one is particularly laid back in flavor, but I have to say the flavorings are winning. Interesting and mellow. More like a muesli for breakfast to me, but quite drinkable.

Tastes like any lager except the end bite has this amazing coconut character that is fantastic.

In Laurel:
LOOK: Pours a golden pale straw yellow with and all white head that very quickly recedes to a less than full skin along with some minimal side glass lace.
AROMA: Mostly some coconut, and vanilla. There is also a lemon backbone with some chemical esters. Also do get some of the breakfast Oat's.
TASTE: Interesting brew, much of the flavor is embedded in the aroma. Vanilla and coconut are prevalent.
Definitely not a beer in my wheelhouse but a nice pace changer on occassion.
