If you’re looking for a showstopper, this one takes the cake… the whole cake, to be precise.
Following on from Piece of Cake, our session sour from last year’s 6th birthday celebrations, we’ve gone bigger, bolder, with more slices (and even more jammy Scottish strawberries and raspberries).
Each sip finishes with a swirl of creamy vanilla icing, like eating a whole birthday cake to yourself, but with less shame, and no candles required.

Can. Hazy watermelon colour beer, small pale apricot colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness, well integrated with the abundant vanilla. Really good strawberry vibe, rich and ripe, not mushy but, ripe enough to be that classic rich strawberry flavour without any underripe tartness. Vanilla, nicely judged, keeps everything in check. Light tart finish. Don't know about cake vibes but, the vanilla and strawberry vibe is spiffin.

Can shared with Barbara, 30th July 25, at the Hive, Crowthorne. It’s tart, sweet, lots going on and refreshing. Good one
