Default Brown Rice Syrup

Does anyone here use this? I had a jar and the texture was pretty runny.
And because it was a wide mouthed jar, it was hard to get it out of there
without making a mess. So much so that I just could not avoid drips even
when being careful. So I wound up putting a piece of foil over the jar
bottom to catch them.

Today I used up that jar and opened a new one. Totally different texture!
The first one was like honey or molasses in texture. This one was much
thicker. Almost like cream honey. As you can imagine, this totally
affected the dish I was making. Which was the vegan fudge. It was so
thick, I had a super hard time mixing it up.

I have seen it used on TV and although I haven't watched closely (I will
now), it did appear more like corn syrup.

Both jars are the same brand. Lundberg. Same sized jar. Both purchased at
Whole Foods.

So I guess my question is... Can brown rice syrup get thick with age, like
honey can? Is one or the other of my jars from a bad batch? Thanks!

It wasn't cloudy. Just thick.

Colder temperatures probably make it more thick and warmer
temperatures make it more thin.
What is the difference in the ambient temperature now with this jar
and the one that was thin?

If anything, it would have been colder when I opened the second jar. I had
the heat off and it was quite cold in here but daughter has been sick and
was feeling too hot so I kept it off.
