    Amber is used predominantly in the production of medium-colored beers such as pale ales, IPAs, and bitters.

    Imparts a dry, woodsy flavor if used in the boil. If beer is bottled with it, it gives it a smooth sweet, maple taste. Use in maple ales, pale ales, brown ales and porters.

    Simcoe®

    Used for aromatic, and especially bittering properties.

This was my first beer brewed "solo". The syrup added to the keg actually lets you taste the maple rather than having it all ferment away. The sweetness of the maple syrup counters the hop bitterness well.
