As sausages, they were good. The kids enjoyed them with pancakes and eggs. However, maybe it is because breakfast is the most rushed meal of the day here, especially for me-- I don't even sit at the dining table to eat breakfast-- we didn't taste much maple. But is it all good: the kids are not maple fans anyway, and they scarfed them all down. Not just these, but LOVE that your sausages are additive free and so fresh!
