While not a honey mead, and perhaps thus not in the correct forum, I figured that I'd ask since I seem to have discovered a trove of collected meadologists here.
I recently found myself thinking about making a mead, much like a standard sack mead, but with maple syrup as the sugar source, instead of honey. I've found a few recipes on it on the intertubes, but I was curious if anyone had ever tried it. I'm intrigued, but concerned about an overwhelmingly mapley taste. It sounds really nice, and if you went went a #2 or #3 (amber or dark) syrup, I'd wager it would have a beautiful color.
