The classes of maple syrup are divided primarily by color and flavor. In general, the darker the color, the strong the flavor. The Grade A color classes go from light amber (Fancy), medium amber, dark amber (from light to dark). Grade B is darker still. A common misconception is that darker color means thicker syrup -- this is not the case. All pure maple syrups have close to the same density (typically 66-67% sugar solids).
