Pint can from Festival Northland, 4/13/22. Clear gold, maybe a faint pink tinge, or maybe that’s my imagination. Large fizzy white head, poor retention. Aroma of sweet apple, sweet raspberry. Taste is sweet and tart apple, tart raspberry, some vanilla, skins. Thin, high carb. Meh.

O- Loads of brown sugar. There is an apple donut like flavor. Very sweet to the point of being rather cloying. Wanted to love it but couldn't quite get there.

Pounder from my local TJs. Lo-ball @home. Hard spritz, dead, cloudy, yellow straw. Smell is Alpine-ish & refreshing(they don't advertise what hops were used). Backdrop of citrus & unfocused apple bitterness. Taste is soft twang, citrus forward hop juice, cool mint, apple bitterness, yeast, lemon, watermelon rind. Not even approaching kettle sour level. Some residual sweetness. Hard carbonation, dusty feel, noticeable but whatevz booze. Hop essence + crap cider = still not that bad. Cheers.

$3 pounder from my local TJs. I should know better, but I do like Snapdragons. Mojito glass @home. Clear, pale gold, lingering lace. Farty, yeasty nose dissolves & makes way for a bitterly indifferent brew! Taste is a tart, sweet, bright, slightly bitter, subliminally crunchy apples, malic acid, lemon, champagne yeast leftovers, sulfites, & a lingering sugary-ness that reminds me of Splenda; lettuce. Hard carbonation, slight ugliness from the alcohol. Okay hydration if it's fast & cold.

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.
