Frootwood (2020)

Fruit Beer

Cherry ale aged in barrels that held both maple syrup and bourbon. Well balanced cherry ale with nice hints of buttered pancakes and vanilla bourbon. The oak barrel helps to round out and balance the flavors adding a subtle earthy presence.

The first sip is a little jarring with big cherry flavor, almost cough syrupy but really starts to blend well when you dive back in

Very unique... a cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. Has a sweet side and the cherry notes does stand out. I would definitely drink this again.

Minimal effervescence makes it even more like a port. Sweet, light flavor.

Cherry, bourbon and oak in the aroma. Taste has cherry right up front, followed by subtle, yet flavorful bourbon and finishing with oak. Vanilla notes linger throughout. The body is medium+ with a low amount of carbonation. Very nice. Solid 4/5

Great cherry. Little too sweet with the maple syrup for me but nonetheless a great summer beer
