Canned 3/12/24, drunk 9/27/25.
Found this can in my girlfriend's basement. Pours clear, maple-golden. Fizzy.
Smells like one of those french toast sticks i ate for lunch in elementary school.
Tastes like that, with some cider notes that certainly do not go well with pastry/flour/waffle. Like soaking waffles in apple cider and adding maple. Pretty downright disgusting. Imagine giving this a 7.6!

$1 can off the clearance shelf. Yes it smells oddly like waffles, maybe some inferior syrup aroma in there, all backed up by yer basic hard apple cider nose. Seems to be a little more viscous than other ciders. Color is hazy light yellow orange with a brown tint. Taste is exceptionally sweet, yet without being cloying. Decent level of co2. I'm even getting some orange in there? This is certainly a unique tasting apple cider. In the middle I find this odd tainted taste in the background, like a hint of spoiled fruit. You'd never know there was any alky in this, keep it away from the kiddies.

Strong and pronounced maple syrup nose, rubber underneath. Mostly clear amber. Apple, maple syrup, rubber. Light body, easy carbonation. Neat.

Aromas are maxed out maple. Flavors are like nose, again maple is way overplayed. A little more sweet than tart. One and done.

This smells like maple syrup. Strongly. Though it put me more in mind of the cheap syrup rather than real maple syrup for some reason. Not surprisingly the flavor is very sweet. Syrup and apples are the main flavors. It’s too sweet but it’s okay.
