I'm going to see if a friend of mine can get me some maple sap to substitute for water in a batch. In one of Papazian's books he said he tried a batch made with it, and said it had a woody character to it.
As far as ingredients go, I've got pils and pale malt, carapils and crystal, wheat, roasted barley, chocolate malt, and black patent. For hops I've got Fuggle, Saaz, and Tettenager. For yeast I've got Safale US-05 and Saflager S-23.
I'm open to suggestions for a style/recipe that could let the subtle flavor of the sap shine.
