J.R.E.A.M. - Key Lime Cheesecake
Burley Oak Brewing Co.

 

 

I suspect the previous reviewer may have unfortunately gotten a bad can, as it doesn't resemble my experience. Mine is the look and consistency of a NEIPA on the pour, producing plenty of head but fizzing rapidly away without leaving any lacing behind at all. Sharp tartness up front from the key lime, which tastes like the genuine article but is sweetened by the other ingredients, particularly the contrasting pineapple. The cheesecake filling and crust elements definitely come through, but more towards the finish. Lingering aftertaste of a graham cracker crust.

This is my first in the J.R.E.A.M. series, but this can is consistent with the ratings of other entries.

 

This one pours a very gloopy looking orange color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like sour but somewhat artificial key lime, old stale graham crackers, cream cheese, and lemon.

There's something distinctly weird and off about this one. I think the graham cracker and the cream cheese are combining to make this weird stale, meaty, and almost smoky off-flavor here. The key lime also appears as very artificial.

This is thick and creamy, but not super drinkable, due to all of the off-flavors.

This is just not good, unfortunately. I know this series gets a lot of press, but this is a bad entry.
