My family likes Grade A Light real maple syrup from Vermont. Not cheap for the pure stuff. I get it locally whenever I'm in Vermont, or if it's resold in my area (CT, just south of it), but you can order it online too, like this one:

Grade A is the bland crap that's sold to tourists.
Grade B is the one with the true Maple flavor. Harder to find, but worth the effort.
Not how it works.
I also prefer the grade B to the lighter grade A. Then again, I didnt grow up in new england and told that A was the best. I grew up with aunt jemima syrup and IMO grade B syrup is much darker and has more rich maple flavor. They say it is used for baking with the lighter grade A used for pancakes/waffles etc... I put the grade B on my pancakes etc...
Yes it is.
Google it.
Learn something.
Thickened sugar water with mild maple flavor (sound familiar?) might be a Grade AA then.Your comparison is like saying that a double IPA is better than a single IPA because the double IPA has a stronger flavor.
Not how it works.
There is a reason that Vermont isn't using Grade A/B/C etc etc etc. anymore.
