Frootwood

Fruit Beer

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

Sure, Not

Lots of cherry - maple throughout. Just too sweet. Maybe more time to be special.

I like the combination of sweet up front and the barrel aged flavors following up. Overall sensation is that it’s sweeeet

Very unique beer. I thought the cherry wood be overwhelming but instead it was well balanced. Nice sweet flavor profile. Can taste the barrel flavor but it balanced nicely from beginning to end.

Too sweet. Love the idea, but there is too much maple/cherry sweetness. Needs a balance

Strong bourbon nose, but the beer didn’t really pan out. I could do like 5 oz of this, it’s too sweet overall. Maybe I just didn’t know what I was getting into, it is a fruit beer

Wow. A lot of cherry! Not tart at all. Sweet. Cherry is even stronger as it sits but still not what I would say is tart. But this is LOADED with flavor. Not boozy at 8. Nice. Fruity. Smooth. Of you like cherries you’ll love this sweet cherry pie!

This is a cool concept, and I was hopeful for a great outcome. Ultimately the cherry is medicinal and the beer doesn’t offer much depth. A bit disappointing

I think I liked this more in theory than in execution. It’s so sweet and fruity it borders on tasting like a mixed drink with a goofy name. I get no bourbon, little syrup, just an artificial cherry flavor. Pass on a second round.
