I like the amber grade maple syrup best myself, it is harvested fairly early in the season (2nd from the left below) but its all good!
Just finished a small bowl as I read this. My father used to by maple syrup from the Mennonites back in the early 70s for $20/gallon. I still remember him grumbling when the price went up to $25. We used to buy 2 gallons for the year and store it in the freezer to keep the mold off it.
