Can from Trader Joe's. Pours a clear pear colored gold with a small bit of white foam that dissipates. Aromas of apple and vanilla on the nose as it warms. Palate is similar with a soft vanilla tone but I don't get a ton of maple syrup. Sweet apple, smooth and lighter than expected. Enjoyable.

Single from 604 a couple months ago, $3.99. Just been chilling in my fridge ignored till now. Canned 11.20.24

Pint glass at home. Pale amber pour. Filtered. Big whitewashed head. Sticky lace.
Smell is industrial alcohol, soap, citrus, brown sugar.
Soft floral apple, too much maple syrup, slickly sweet, twinge of saltiness, lingering vanilla rum.
Low carb, medium acidy, thin & runny with sugar, lingering booziness.

Nope. Like a New England adjuct cider without any of the body or strength. Drain pour.
