Recently, I covered the history of Dublin Bottling Works and I've got a few other Dublin sodas to work my way through. There aren't tons of grapefruit sodas out there, but I take a liking to many grapefruit and grapefruit/citrus fruit mixes like Ski, Fresca, etc. so I'm hoping this will be in the same vein and I'll like it.
It has a light citrus aroma and I like the carbonation. Taking a few draws on the bottle I find it has a sort of musty flavor to it. It's certainly grapefruit, which I mostly feel in the middle of a tasting. At the front its less flavorful... a moment later the grapefruit kicks in, but then there's a lingering finish like the stale air of an attic mixed with a just a touch of stale, cheap baseball card bubblegum. Despite this strange finish, I've found I'm already through half the bottle just because I enjoy the bite from the grapefruit. The combination of the two however would leave me rating this as a sort of average soda in the realm of citrus-based drinks.
