A clear, cane-sugar cream soda that trades the usual amber richness for something lighter and sweeter — think cotton candy, marshmallow, and funnel cake more than a creamy vanilla float. It drinks easy and soft, with gentle carbonation and a big sweet nose, but the body stays thin and the "cream" reads as airy rather than rich. Reviewers are split: easy-drinking fair-in-a-bottle charm for some, an oddly un-creamy cream soda for others.

The maker

Jones Soda is a Seattle craft-soda company that grew out of the mid-1990s alternative-beverage scene and built its identity on pure cane sugar, glass bottles, and irreverent branding. It is best known for rotating fan-submitted photographs on every label and printing crowd-sourced fortunes under each cap. The brand leans on novelty and a wide, sometimes outlandish flavor lineup, with cane-sugar staples like this cream soda anchoring the core range.
