I thought maple syrup was maple syrup but, apparently things have changed over the last several years. I noticed a while back that the maple syrup I purchased in the store (even organic) had an "odd" taste. It just didn't taste right. I tried several types but, with the same result.

Then I read a review on here about Vermont having tougher standards for maple syrup. As in something about not allowing other sweeteners or something, don't remember exactly.

Anyway, I decided try Brown Family Pure Vermont Maple Syrup. Wow, major taste difference, even the after taste lingers and is very nice. I also bake bread with maple syrup, the smell of the baking bread, and the bread flavor are much more distinct maple.

Actual label states "Vermont Grade A Medium Amber" maple syrup. Amazon product description does not state the grade. Generally, Grade A has a lighter maple taste than the stronger flavored Grade B.

Very dark amber and sweet maple syrup from the state that does it best, Vermont. Highly recommended. Very good price.

Quick Delivery and excellent product. Probably the best we've ever used. Very good price. Will order it again

I ordered this for my husband, a die-hard maple syrup fan. I've always been of the "any good syrup will do" opinion. After having this syrup over waffles my husband made the morning after the shipment arrived, I'm now a convert. We will definitely continue our subscription to regular shipments of this delicious elixir!

There's no doubt about it, this is the real deal. Wonderfully full-bodied syrup with a luscious amber brown color. Sometimes I even make my buckwheat pancakes for dinner just so I can have the syrup without waiting for breakfast. The price is great and the quality is consistent between batches.

I normally buy Maple Syrup from the Amish around here but ran short before I could get there to buy more...so I ordered this thinking it was going to be the same. It's pretty thin and doesn't have the same full bodied flavor as making it the old fashioned way. I wouldn't pay the price for it again.

I have been making my own maple-flavored syrup for over 40 yrs and wanted to experience the "real thing" so I purchased this highly-rated syrup and gave it a try. Since my home-made syrup only costs a small fraction of the real thing, I was expecting a huge difference. Nope, the real maple syrup is good but I have to admit I like my home-made stuff just as much. Everyone has different tastes so there is no right or wrong. It's all subjective.

I just ordered a second jug of this syrup after finishing off my first jug yesterday. There are some things upon which one cannot skimp, and real maple syrup is one of them. I grew up with Mrs. Butterworth's, but now that I'm older (and buying my own groceries!), I've found that there really is no comparison between real maple syrup and the other stuff. A 12-oz container of maple syrup is $7.99 at the grocer in my area, so this 32-oz jug is easily a better deal (and it tastes great). Unlike the stuff from the store, this syrup is from Vermont! Overall, I highly recommend this syrup on the bases of price and taste.

This is a GREAT tasting syrup! Not too sweet and not thin & runny like some other pure maple syrups. I was pleasantly surprised at how thick this syrup is--my husband had to check to make sure it was just maple syrup (I've been buying our maple syrup at Sam's Club & I guess we didn't realize just how runny that syrup is)
This has a rich amber color and great maple flavor that you can still taste even with a whole lot of butter on your pancakes or waffles (my son likes lots of butter)
My only complaint is that it is messy to pour. I have had other bottles of syrup with similar shaped spouts that have not been messy whereas with this spout the syrup glug-glug-glugs out.
