At the source. Not expecting much. Clear, medium oily gold pour. Cooked grocery apple nose, very slight sulfur. Maple nose is more caramel-y & fake. Medium sweet dessert apples, skin, soft & approachable maple syrup, low acid, low carb, very slightly smokey. Iffy adjunct special.

Clear, dark gold, oily pour. Potpourri, peach puree, too floral & industrial. Cooked, canned peach flavor with a touch of apple acidity. Obvious concentrate. Pretty bad.

Served alongside the regular & impy vanilla versions Pale straw, not quite clear pour. Smooth bourbon & subtle apple pie a la mode nose. Taste is obvious bourbon, tart & sharp apples, real vanilla bean, lingering heat. Intentionally flat & medium bodied. Probably some added sugar. Bold & rough after dinner sipper. Not the same cider base it seems. Surprisingly good.

On tap side by side with the regular & bourbon barrel. Clear, medium gold, lingering bleached lace. Half sharp nose. Possibly artificial vanilla over a mellow grocery/dessert half tart apple base. Website says it's real vanilla. Vanilla ice cream baked apples. Low carb, thin. Some obvious industrial chem burn on the tail. Nah.

Short pour at the Ft. Worth location. Light to medium gold pour. Soft vanilla ice cream nose. Taste is more apple, more ice cream, more balanced than the imperial. Less artificial vanilla. Faintly tart apple base, less acid than the imperial. Comes off like an easy cream soda which is very nostalgic & easy to drink. Didn't hate this.

Single from Lonestar, right out the cold luggage & into a pint glass @home. Clear, if dull, pale gold, weak pour. Honey & industrial fusel nose. Crispy & vapid dessert apple, minerally, bitter aspirin, honey sweetness & texture, bit industrial. Low carb, slick & meaty texture, whatever abv that comes back a little. Tastes okay enough.

Pale, slight haze. Smells like malibu and pineapple juice -egregious. Light apple, adjuncts are dodgy. So sweet, but okay, you kind of know what to expect when you order this, and it delivers.

On tap at The Living TapRoom, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is egregious, with sweet pineapple and coconut juice, with some apple juice concentrate. Flavour is sweet, with coconut juice, apple juice concentrate, and pineapple. Sweet as hell, with too much of the adjuncts. Junky stuff.
