The beer I am trying to recreate is very light gold in color. All I know for sure from the brewery is that they used fresh coconut that they toasted themselves and that they used coconut water. Can't figure out if they used the water in the boil-or if it was added later on or both. so I guess I...

I picked up the kit and brewed today. Now I just have to wait till it's ready. It will hard to wait after hearing such good things from everyone here!
