Sweet cider, more like pastry cider, get marshmallow notes. Wish I knew what was in it besides cinnamon. Maybe added sugars or just vanilla. I do get some churro vibes but mostly sugary sweetness.

Can from Tavour. Pours very rose with a transient pink smear. Aroma is quite strawberry but the pink guava shows through. No apple tho. Med body or nearly. Lots of pink guava, fair amount of strawberry. some prickly passion fruit and a bit of tart apple skin in support. Very tasty.

Brown pour. Maple syrup flavor with hints of vanilla and apple jacks cereal. Easy body and easy carbonation

Single from Khoury's. Stemless wine glass back at my hotel. Very dark, frothy, sort of clear garnet grape juice. Pineapple, grape & bittersweet, booze, chem-laced apple juice nose. Prickly but low carb, very grapey & dense tannins but not really coming off as blueberry. Pineapple sweetness, junky apple juice, cheap malt booziness. Thicker texture. It's almost okay outside of the chem-like attributes. Boozy grape drank.

Aromas are mild apple cider with a hint of strawberry. Flavors are similar to nose. Can't really make out the passion fruit or guava. Slightly more sweet than tart. Not bad but nothing special.

Draft in Roscoe, IL. A nice collection of bubbles on the side and thin layer of foam. Nose is mild blend of apricot, peach and apple juice, though it also has a bit of a perfume note, too. Perfume and fruit stays in the palate, which is nice if you like that. Some dryness works in as you go along.

Pounder from Beer Zombies in Vegas. Duvel glass @home. Clear, oily, classy gold, not very active. Musky sweet, phenolic, dessert apple concentrate sort of nose. Rich, oily, herbal, medicinal bitterness, one-sided flavor, sticky, bold carbonation, at least it's faintly tart. Nah.
