187ml bottle in Portland, ME. My bottle says 7.5%, but their info says 6.9%. Mine is the 2018 pressing, 2019 bottling, consumed end of July 2020. Nose jumps right out of the glass, apple pie, apple juice, lots of spice too, the maple is around, but ginger and nutmeg dominate. Flavor really just fades to apple juice and sweetness, green apples, sweet apple candy too, spice is gone, so is the maple. Finishes off dry. Promise more than it delivered.
