As someone who is from /r/all and has never tried Vermont maple syrup. How does it compare to Canadian maple syrups?

Maple trees don't care about human borders, but syrup from every sugarmaker and every sugarbush tastes a little different.

Are you looking for a fight?

I am married to a Canadian (Acadian New Brunswick) and have had lots of Canadian syrup in my day, and now get my VT syrup from Trade Winds Farm (among other sources), so I'm sort of a neutral.

Answer: I have yet to taste "bad" maple syrup. Darker is better (the old Grade B, now Grade A: Dark Color & Robust Flavor or something?), regardless of the source.

Please then do a blind taste test with VT, NY, and Canadian syrup, and report back!

Wake up & smell the coffee, then get out yr lil jar of syrup & pour a small amt in. Your coffee will taste like a dream!
