“Showcasing 2 of the finest hops grown by 2 of the finest hop producers in the game YCH & FREESTYLE. This is straight up fire Jumping with dank pineapple & tropical fruit on the nose but quickly making way for a tropical storm of the juiciest pineapple, passionfruit, mango & melon on the palette. Layered & rounded with smooth oats & creamy lactose giving a silky mouthfeel all while maintaining a rich depth of drinkability. This is some damn fine Cake.”

Glassware: IPA.
Appearance: Pours an old-skool turbid off pastel yellow with two fingers of fluffy white head neatly perched on top. A good smattering of lace decorates the glass as it ebbs.
Aroma: The Cake Eater series is without a doubt one of the most anticipated releases of the year for us. Motueka & Citra is a dream hop combo too…keen to see what the 2025 rendition has in store. Getting that alluring hop oil scent synonymous with Cryo. Oily citrus rind, ruby grapefruit, pine needle, evergreen/rainforest, lime juice, sappy resins and a fresh doughy malt structure.
Flavour: A tad sweeter than the nose…thanks to the lactose and the more pronounced tropical fruits. Super citrusy – grapefruit, lime, orange peel etc. the Cryo injecting that oily resinous quality too. A mild bitterness and warmth from the booze but the oats make sure it finishes with a smooth texture surrounded by pine resin and citrus on the back.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and smooth AF! Mild-medium body, finely carbed and the 8% ABV was well hidden.
Overall: Easily on par with the likes of Mountain Culture and Garage Project. Just an all-round cracking beer to drink. Kudos Banksy!
