Tastes Like Syrup. Good. Delicious! Sweetened. Best syrup. Not impressed. Sweet and delicious. Delicious. I recommend. greaaaaaaaaaat

It’s alright, but a little pricey, and wish it had a more fruity flavor to it, but it’s good none-the-less.

Delicious

Very tasty and sweet syrup! It will especially impress those who have refused pure sugar!

excellent

The syrup is delicious. Light taste of caramel. There is no pleasant taste for sweeteners. My children are also happy to use porridge. I recommend.

I relied on the reviews, but so far I can not share the enthusiasm. Nothing special. To catch the taste, you need to pour in a huge amount, which is not harmless at all. If I add a little (to tea, coffee, pancakes), as I planned, then the taste and sweetness is not felt at all.

Delicious syrup, but I read that it is harmful

I like to pour pancakes with this syrup 🙂

With cottage cheese and generally everything) delicious syrup

the best ever
