J.R.E.A.M Raspberry Strawberry White Chocolate Cupcake Sour Ale

This is my second J.R.E.A.M beer from Burley Oak Brewing Company from Berlin, Maryland. As I mentioned in the review for the first one, J.R.E.A.M stands for “Juice Rules Everything Around Me,” which is a nod to the Wu-Tang Clan’s classic ode to cash. This version is brewed with raspberry, strawberry, white chocolate cake batter, frosting and lactose. With ingredients like this, how can you say no? The beer pours out an incredibly thick, kind of muddy reddish-brown color. The head formation is mild and dissipates quickly. I get the raspberry and chocolate on the nose. The raspberry returns in the flavors along with the strawberry followed by some very creamy white chocolate. I love that although these are classified as sour ales, they really are only mildly tart. They also have a wonderful thick and creamy mouthfeel to go along with the equally wonderful flavors.
