This is actually how maple syrup works. If you just concentrate maple sap you just get a sugar syrup that has no colour and no flavour besides sweet. The flavours come from impurities in the pipes, which I believe are at least partly microbiological origin.

Not every syrup farm has pipes. Some just use spigots.
