Tasting Notes  

The syrups we craft from our wild forest sap begin with Light golden ambers (barely fermented) distinguished by striking confectionery tastes  and smooth, complex finish flavors often of vanillin, hazelnut or white chocolate.  These are followed by Medium ambers' rich, buttery, caramel tones, and then garnet Dark ambers with their robust, sometimes cinnamon or fruity character.   Finally, the warmest Spring days of April bring us stout, earthy, full-bodied Black Amber syrups which maintain clean yet long and varied finishes, sometimes with a bit of a bite. It is important to note that in this wild woods harvesting, each of these four color categories (Light, Medium, Dark & Black Amber) in fact house a continuum of colors/ flavors. For example, some Mediums are almost Light in character and some are almost Dark.  It is this variance that our farm works to capture: no two batches of Berkshire Sweet Gold's Single-Crop, Single-Batch ambers are identical, even when the colors are similar.

When preparing your order, please indicate syrup colors as Light, Medium, Dark or Black Amber.  Not all colors are available in all styles of glass at all times. We'll do our best to fill your order as specified; however, we may have to substitute bottle styles. Remember that no two batches are identical and you may receive a color of syrup that is slightly darker or lighter than a previous purchase.  Please enjoy the variety!
