I'm hoping to brew (in the fairly distant future) a maple bitter or ESB to celebrate my English and Canadian history. Does anyone have a recipe or even know/think it would be tasty?
If you end up using syrup, use grade B not grade A. Grade B has flavor that will survive fermentation where grade A simply doesn't have enough. I used some grade A in a brown ale and was dissapointed with how little flavor there was (virtually nil). You can also get some toasted maple to age it with.
