Purchased as a variety 12-pack of cans from Ingles for $16.99. Poured into a nonic pint glass.
L - Hazy copper, with a minimal quick-to-leave pale white head.
S - Aroma is seriously heavy with that distinct maple creme flavor. Bit of ethanol.
T - The maple creme flavor is present, but somewhat watered down and subdued by the assorted wheat notes here. Sliced white bread. Raw oats. Finish is light on the maple, and bready.
F - Medium in body, with minimal carbonation. Oily. Smooth.
O - So far, my favorite of the variety pack. Still a bit disappointing in the flavor department, but I fully understand it's a novelty brew. Maple creme is definitely my favorite doughnut from Dunkin' Donuts, but perhaps they were aiming for the maple creme coffee flavor they have, which is equally as disappointing as this brew. It's objectively alright, but it's been worth giving it a try.

12 oz can, packaged on 9/20/21, into THAT! NE IPA snifter.
Has a copper color with a finger of light beige resting on top. It recedes pretty quickly but still retains some of its height.
The powerful scent of maple instantly hits the nose as the glass draws near. I'm also getting what seems to be hot kettle corn, along with a little vanilla, and a little floral perfume.
Flavor is a basic cream ale or adjunct lager for about 80% of the way, and then at the back the adjuncts hit softly, namely maple and vanilla. I get some flat off-brand cream soda vibes too. This almost tastes like a butternut corn doughnut. Lingering kettle corn notes. The after-flavors are the ones that you get confused thinking you're tasting what you're smelling when you walk into a doughnut shop in the early morning.
Feel is carbonated and slick with some barely detectable alcohol heat. Drying finish.
Overall, a pleasant beer though not one for the record books. It's about what you'd expect out of a boring cream ale but this one adds a little extra sumthin'. Definitely a Dunkin beer. Fun!

Fairly clear light amber body. Good head production; decent retention.
This does, indeed, smell like a maple cream doughnut, from the maple syrup to a buttery malt base. A bit of vanilla and cola in the background.
Just a touch fizzy on the palate; medium bodied considering the low ABV.
Flavor delivers on the promise: almost light and grainy up front, it very quickly becomes doughy and moderately sweet, finishing with a kick of maple syrup and vanilla cream. It's not over the top sweet, and it absolutely nails the intent.

Pours an opaque marmalade orange color, with a healthy creamy off white head. Smell is sweet dough, mild spices . Taste is sweet,( not cloyingly) vanilla,slight maple. really good. I thought this would be a sickeningly sweet doughnut rendition but I was wrong . This is a solid blonde ale with the essence of a DD Maple cream doughnut. Well carbonated, medium bodied,finishes semi dry. Would recommend- I did not realize this was brewed with actual doughnuts-
