Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We had been buying this product from physical stores for quite a while before deciding to purchase through Amazon online to take advantage of the much lower price (a saving of ~$6 per bottle with subscribe and save included was too good to pass up). The taste from those physical store-bought Coombs bottles was amazing; far better than other, cheaper physical store options. Then we signed up to buy these bottles from Amazon online--the taste was not the same and the consistency was not the same. It tasted bad, even worse than some of the cheaper maple syrups we had tried. Other Coombs Maple Syrup lovers in the family tried it and did not like it at all. I compared labels between our old physical store-bought bottle and the new Amazon online bottle and could not find a difference. I bought another bottle from a physical store and it tasted as wonderful as before. I believe these bottles for sale here on Amazon online are NOT the real deal.
