*Custard Extra 1 (FA) 2.5% (6-5-21)** -- *Disclaimer, custard steeped only 1 wk 2 days...*
Well, well, well, what do we have here. Realizing custards should be steeped a bit longer, rolling on this one at slightly over 1 week. Right out of the gate, two things were evident, no in your face heavy egg, and an almost pudding like quality. We'll talk more about the other nuances, but those two main aspects, continued from beginning to end. First, this is a lighter custard LIKE (minus the citrus note) FA Custard, than say a heavier custard like CAP's v.1. @ 2.5% it was quite good, relaxed, but full, delicious, but not overpowering in any way. I use FA's Custard often, but it is a much lighter custard, and has some citrus elements to it, but this one, takes/took a lighter custard and UPPED the game a bit. I think the pudding element(s) work perfectly here, but weren't high enough to pull it into a full pudding category, but really accented, and carried the custard portion. Quite a tasty lil' gem FA's come up with here. Your mileage WILL vary depending on what YOU want/need from a custard. One of the better things about this one, was it wasn't overbearing, and non-fatiguing. Nothing off-putting at this weight, nicely smooth, and maybe a tick above mid level sweet. It presented as a fairly unique custard, which puts it into the you might want to pick it up" cataeory. For a nice custard, with decent pudding elements, that wasn't entirely vanilla focused, plenty rich, without a heavy handed egg profile, this one may get it done for you. For me, it's a tester tank finisher. Easily **9.5/10**."
