review: Oatmeal Squares -- golden maple

...and I think this is the last Oatmeal Squares flavor I need to cover. Smell test first: I opened the bag and breathed in the aroma. Yep, smells like a bottle of maple syrup (the real stuff). Surprisingly, though, maple syrup is not one of the ingredients. I guess that explains why it's called "golden maple flavor." I'm also curious as to the "golden" part of the name. That's not a word I usually associate with maple.

And for the taste: like the others, it's very subtle and mild. It doesn't overwhelm when I mix it with other cereals. The only teensy complaint I have is that the box color should be differentiated a bit more from the new Honey Nut box design. It's hard enough to find this flavor as it is without accidentally picking up the wrong box.
