Can from TJs. Mojito glass @home. Sizzling, false head, clear, classic MGD color. Smells like sticky Aunt Jemima & odd meaty smoke, less like maple syrup. Where's the beef? *Natural maple flavoring* Is nothing sacred?! Label is a straight up lie. Same crispy, bittersweet cider in nearly all their bases, but with an odd, very smokey rubber, wax flavor. Tastes like burnt pancake syrup. Offensive & sickly. Crispy, dry, texture. Lingering bitter-sweetness. Added flavorings don't interfere with texture. If you huffed paint cans as a kid, this will be fine, otherwise, drain pour. Bad. Really bad. Complete waste.

Can from TJs. Mojito glass @home. Unintentionally, my #911 rating. Strong sizzle, flash of head, clear, dark gold. Smells like cooked cinnamon sugar &... donut grease? Bittersweet apples, potent but not dusty apple pie spices, brown sugar, maple. Cinnamon also lingers like a stick of Big Red. Natural Flavors obviously being the distilled spice(s) not on the ingredient list. I will note that this isn't sickly sweet, but still pretty much dessert. Also some residual bitterness that is much appreciated. Well carbed, some body, slightly slick, sugary, hidden alcohol, no sulfite headache. As candy-ish this is, it tastes better to me than at least half of the legit seasonal spiced beers/ciders I've had. Drink very cold & there wont be a problem. #cantbelieveidrankthewholething Okay.

Tall boy from TJs. Highball @home. Big sizzle, straw gray, nearly clear. Smells disappointingly of faint yeasties & faint lemon. Sweet & sour lemonade, tart apples, mild apple skin bitterness, powdered sugar finish. Nothing artificial on the label. Inoffensive, just too sweet. It doesn't have to be this way. Silky-tart. Yeast/sugar? I don't want my cider silky. Carbonation is fine. Alcohol is right. Meh. Good base for a cocktail.

Can from Kelly and Paul, thanks for sharing. Pretty brilliant light gold in color with a decent sized bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Initially sulfur, but that dissipates quickly to brown sugary vanilla spice and apple. Pretty tasty.
