Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clissold Wines, Stokey. Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a fast-fading, fizzy white head. Lactic aroma, some lemon, hints of wheat. Light sweet flavour, quite acidic, with more lemony tartness, maybe faint hay. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Tart and quenching in the finish, with more lemon juice, assertive acidity. Not a lot of grapefruit as such, but plenty of citric bite. Cleansing. Nice one.

Custard 6.5%. On tap at Moncada tasting room Dollis Hill. Black beer lasting tan head. Dark chocolate and roast aroma. Some milkyness. Dark chocolate flavour in mouth. Some dry roast malt on the finish. Tastes like a low abv imperial stout. Very malty. Decent enough.
