Description
Moncada is more than a brewery – it’s our home. When Julio Moncada first came travelling through West London in 2001 he instantly fell in love with the place. As a dedicated “foodie” he first wanted to start a deli, but then he had an even better idea – the Moncada Brewery.
We began Moncada Brewery in the colourful area of Notting Hill. Julio surrounded himself with like-minded craft beer obsessives and became inspired by the neighbourhood – creative, vibrant and hemmed with diversity – and the Notting Hill beer range was born, which makes up our core range today.
Later, in 2017, we moved to Dollis Hill to expand and explore a new locality. A new place marked a new start, and the Blueprint beer series was launched, focusing on experimentation and limited edition releases, with a touch of eccentricity.
Relocated once more in Spring 2018 to the current address.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, hoppy and biscuity, pale malty aroma, notes of grapefruit, orange, mandarine, mandarine zest, a sugary touch. Taste is bitter hoppy, zesty, minimally mineral and chalky, hints of lemon peel, weak pale malty basis. Very refreshing; taste has continuous and constant, though not overly aromatic hoppiness.

Handpump at the Harp, London. Hazy golden bright pour, super white foam. Nose: tart lemony, unpleasant grapefruit skin. Meh. Mouth: more grapefruit, unpleasant tartness. Nope! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle shared at Leightons gaff , 19/09/2016. Many thanks to Leighton for this one. A pale yellow straw coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is sour pithy lemon, picked citrus, straw, hint of vinegar. Flavour is composed of tangy sour, pithy lemon, citrus acid, wheat. Palate is semi sweet and sour, highish carbonation, prickly. Decent enough.

Bottle shared in London - sourced from th brewery. Pours mostly clear, pale yellow with a filmy, white foam head. The nose holds lemon, dried wheat, yuzu, tangerine. Light sweet flavour with pleasant lemony acidity, light wheat, lemon, crisp yuzu tang. Ligh bodied with spritzy carbonation. Clean finish, lightly sweaty, with tart lemon, light zesty yuzu. Great stuff.

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear very pale gold with a small, fizzy white head. The aroma is sweet lemony citrus, creamy, lactic, straw, tangy, touch of celery and loads of pickled onion monster munch. The taste is crisp, tart, good mouth - pucker, lemon sherbet, bright yuzu, minerals, lactic tang, sour green apple with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Tastes rather nice. Good fun.
