Trust me I can relate! That's how I felt with this batch but the more I go back to it and taste it I am starting to like it more. Have had some friends taste test it and 4 out of 5 liked it. The one that didn't like it prefers darker syrup like me.

After reading all the posts here its clear that everyone prefers different grades and that's a good thing. If we all liked the same things life would be boring!
