In my (unintentional) experience, you can, but it ends up tasting very bitter and—I don’t know if this is the right word for it, but it’s the only one I can think of—gamey.
Plus, it gets fizzy and plays all sorts of hell with your bowels.
So I honestly can’t recommend it—sorry. 
Another thing I discovered can ferment is maple syrup. I had a small jug of it (capped!) fizz and spill all over the inside of my fridge once. I also had a larger jug ($40 worth in 1995 or '96) develop mold inside my pantry. Both lots went right down the drain. :mad:
