Did you see that? This might be the first granola bar ever with "flavor" as an ingredient! I am glad that this has flavor, this must be what I've been missing all these years! This is a sort of loosely compiled, chewy granola bar. This thing is the poster child for chewy granola bars - totally plain. Tasty, but in the most generic way. I don't want to shortchange it, so many of these bars taste like a bunch of chemicals that I'm really impressed that they avoid this but it is really a very plain, granola taste. It claims to have some maple icing but I don't really see any. Overall, it is fine but unless you're crazy for the organic foolishness you'd be just as well off with basically any chewy granola bar.
