Different regions grade maple syrup differently. Within the US, there are slight differences in grading standards, but between the US and Canada, the grades are substantially different. The US grading system contains the following grades: • Grade A Light Amber: A light amber color, with a light and mild maple flavor. • Grade A Medium Amber: A medium amber color, with a bit more maple flavor. This is the most popular grade for table use. • Grade A Dark Amber: A dark amber color, with a strong maple flavor. • Grade B: Dark in color, generally used for cooking and baking. The grades correspond to the point in the season the syrup was produced. Grade A Light Amber utilizes sap from the earliest point in the season and Grade B from the latest point in the season.
