Stupid question. I have a common old maple tree here in eastern Co. Would its sap be sugar or some thing else?

Last wekend I was replacing a fencepost and a maple branch kept poking me.like a dummy I snapped of the branch to not annoy me.Big mistake the poking turned into drip, drip ,drip on the head.Next year Im gonna get some containers and go for it.Mac said they all have some sugar.

The best tree for sap is the sugar maple, but here in the UP of Michigan I tap soft Maple. The sugar maple has a slightly higher sugar content in the sap, I still need to boil 40 gallons of sap to get 1 gal of syrup.--Rick

Have you ever checked the sugar content of the sap? Is it in the range of 2% from the soft maple?
