Different sap colors

[Starting Small]

Most of my groups of trees are producing totally clear sap. One group though is a brownish yellow color. Still clear but noticeably colored. Any thoughts on this?

I have noticed this with my sap this year. When it is running hard it comes in crystal clear but when it is coming in slow it is discolored and a little cloudy. I would be interested in what others have to say about this.

I don't know what is going on with your trees, but last year I had one tree that was giving me pink sap. It was very clear...just pink! I am going to tap this tree again this year to see if it is pink again.
