BROWSE OUR TASTING NOTES
Each day Mother Nature gives us a different taste. Like fine wines connoisseurs of fine maple syrup know what they like, and one thing they love is Beaver Valley Maple’s fine syrups. In this area you can choose your syrups based on our tasting panel’s notes. Can’t decide? Go back up to ‘order online’ and select the Founder’s Select – that’s the syrup our panel decided was in the top 1% of the year!
Vanilla Tones
Vanilla tones typically appear in the early season. They are light and remind the taster of a high quality vanilla ice cream with maple syrup on top.
LOT 7B
We describe this syrup as a traditional maple syrup and the first peaks of vanilla for the season on the finish.
LOT 9
This is a clean maple flavour – straight maple, no crazy nuances. A crowd pleaser
Butterscotch Tones
Butterscotch tends to appear through our mid-season and is one of our unique flavour profiles.
LOT 5A
This early season maple syrup is mild yet pleasing. It brings an instant smile and the feel of sunshine on a spring day.
LOT 6C
The first taste of this syrup screams maple, but it finishes with remnants of toasted apple crumble and a minor smokey undertone

Late Season
We don’t carry ANY of that horrible late season ‘buddy’ syrup – but we do keep a barrel that Mark says is ‘just on the edge’. These flavours hit you with STRONG maple tones. Great for those who like late season maple or EXCELLENT in coffee and baking.
