My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.25

Intro: A 1 pint can, with no clear canned on or best before date. Poured into a Bokke tasting glass.
Appearance: A hazy orange colour with a slight pinkish tinge, and a half finger white head that dissipated quickly to nothing and left only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Fruit punch with mainly, strawberry, pineapple, and orange zest.
Taste: Carbonated fruit punch, slightly sour, sweet notes, Fanta orange, strawberry, pineapple.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It’s the kind of thing (aroma and flavour) that I would enjoy, but I get that it’s not for everyone. Drinks easy and more like carbonated fruit punch than beer though.

Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 17th September 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A cloudy deep reddish purple colour with a one finger pinkish head that had decent retention while leaving nice lacing.
Aroma: Cherry coke with a splash of lemonade.
Taste: Sweet, syrupy sweet, with maybe slight sour notes. Cherry, candied lemon, coke, caramel syrup.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It’s a self-styled Cola-style Sour Ale, but it’s actually way more sweet than sour, even more so than sour cola candies. The aroma is great and despite the sweetness, I do actually enjoy sipping this cherry, lemon, coke mix flavour.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.44
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.4

Intro: A 1 pint can, canned on 18th September 2020. ‘You’re so jreamy’. Poured into a Holy Mountain tulip glass.
Appearance: A hazy darkish orange colour with a big three finger white head that had good retention and left nice lacing.
Aroma: You get the strawberry and watermelon, but the mix seems to come together as some strange band-aid and leathery mess that I didn’t really enjoy.
Taste: Tart, but not really sour, and there’s fruity sweetness. Strawberry, watermelon, peach gummy rings, and some light citrus notes.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: The aroma didn’t work for me, while the flavours at first, did not appeal to me. Over time though, I think I grew to appreciate the flavours a bit more. It was ok, but not my favourite in the J.R.E.A.M. line.

My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.46
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.3

Intro: A 1 pint can with some kind of date that is smudged out except for the year 2019. ‘Just like warm apple pie’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A cloudy dark orange colour with a big three finger white head that had good retention and left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Apple pie filling.
Taste: Lightly sour, tart, baked apple, cinnamon, nutmeg.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: I didn’t think that this would work, but it did, and I like it. Apple pie filling in liquid form with a nice light sourness that goes well with the apple pie spice flavours.
