Murky purple look with light pink head. Aroma has earthy strawberry notes with the blueberry being also present but only if you look for it in the background. Taste is quite tart with lactic fermentation notes. Also quite fruity reminding of yogurt with forest berries. Body feels quite thick with medium carbonation. Not bad but again I am reminded that strawberry in beer is quite hard to integrate.

My first Jream, and I'm super impressed. This is one of the few beers that tastes better than it smells. The smell of it is mostly strawberry, but is also pretty harsh and sour
But as you drink it, it mellows out in taste. Still kinda sour, but obviously isn't like a typical sour. Drinks like a thick carbonated fruit juice. Good mix of strawberry and blueberry in here. Makes for a good combo, and the lactose gives it a good smooth finish.
Lives up to all the hype. Glad I got to finally try one. Definitely a beer that literally anyone would like. I find that these fruited sours are the perfect beer for people who say they don't like beer.

Bit of a gusher. Poured a cloudy, murky purple kool aid color with a massive pink-tinted head. Thick soapy lacing.
Creamy, tart aroma with definite blueberry and strawberry and some fairly strong lemon meringue. Maybe even a hint of key lime and pie crust as well -- plus a touch of carbon dioxide.
Taste is pretty similar, unfortunately the carbon dioxide is negatively impacting it. The creaminess mixing with the fruit spot on though.
Super creamy feel with some fizziness cutting through.
Hard to rate this one. It would be incredible if the secondary fermentation hadn't gotten away from it. The sourness, creaminess and fruitiness are excellent, though.
