Shades of Maple = Maple X Flavours
The maple industry recently standardized the way their syrup is graded. Pure maple syrup is graded based on the intensity of colour, which equates to the intensity of flavour. Our four Maple X flavours are based on this multi-jurisdictional grading system.
Cool weather produces clear, fresh sap that’s lighter in colour and offers a mild maple taste, whereas warmer days late in the syrup season yield a darker sap with a stronger maple flavour. Geographic conditions from hilly to marshy also have an effect on the colour grade, as do various syrup finishing techniques.
From subtle to full-bodied, each flavour of Maple X offers a unique balance of maple and sweetness, while being clearly distinct from one another. Along with the colour grading, official taste descriptions convey the intensity of the maple flavour in the four Maple X flavours:

GOLDEN
With its subtle undertone
of maple, Maple X Golden quenches your thirst with great-tasting hydration. We refer to this as “the cream soda of the family,” for its light, tangy flavour – a good introduction to maple for those less accustomed to it.
AMBER
Maple X Amber truly is a rich experience, its flavour triggering memories of sugar shacks and maple taffy from your childhood. Don’t have those memories? Time to create some new associations with this delicious drink!
DARK
Our most popular flavour, Maple X Dark reflects the deep textures of maple in a deliciously refreshing balance.
VERY DARK
Full-bodied and strong, Maple X Very Dark is
perfect for maple lovers who enjoy powerfully flavoured food and drinks – another fan-favourite as an alternative to sugary soft drinks.

The Benefits of Maple X
Maple X is a delicious, nutritious, all-natural alternative to pop, juice, and drinks with artificial sweeteners. It’s naturally derived from organic maple sugar and loaded with health benefits:
• A Slow, Steady Burn of Energy – maple sugar is metabolized differently than glucose-fructose corn syrup, which means no quick rush or corresponding crash
• A Natural Electrolyte Drink – packed with magnesium, calcium, and amino acids, Maple X is a fantastic drink if you’re an athlete or lead an active lifestyle
• A Source of Body-Balancing Minerals – maple includes anti-bacterial and anti-diabetic properties with polyphenols and free radical fighting antioxidants
Sugar Shack Facts
Which flavour is the sweetest?
Despite all containing 10% maple sugar, each Maple X drink has its own distinct flavour. Because everyone's taste buds and interpretation of flavour are different, the sweetest flavour to you might be different from another’s opinion.
So how do you determine the right flavour for you?
If you want full-bodied flavour with a bold maple presence, Maple X Dark and Very Dark will satisfy your sweet tooth – for those who prefer delicate sweetness and a lighter undertone of maple, Maple X Golden and Amber offer you great-tasting, all-natural hydration.
We often recommend that those familiar with maple flavour start with Dark. Try Amber if you are less familiar with maple. In both cases, you can move to a stronger or weaker flavour from there.
How much sugar is in Maple X drinks?
All four flavours of Maple X contain 10% maple sugar or 24-grams per serving (236ml/half a bottle).
Whoa, that’s a lot of sugar!
It is, though less than leading colas, and don’t forget, maple sugar is healthier than the high-fructose corn syrup found in most soft drinks and a better option than caffeine-infused energy drinks.
You digest maple slower, so there’s no fast sugar rush followed by a hard crash.
