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.

Juicy, sparkling, a little tart cherry. It’s like what cider would taste like if it were good.

Clear amber-red with creamy white head & lacing. Cherry & bourbon nose & taste; add earthy oak flavor. Despite the flavorsome profile, it dries out at the very end.

I get cherry notes. I also get a coconut aftertaste that's rather unsettling. Not a favorite.
