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.

Cherry nose with small boozy tones of barrels. Sweet mouth, lots of cherries, some wood and small sweet tones of barrels

Mooi fruitbier, zoet, kersen, maple syrup en iets hout van het lageren op bourbon vaten. Daardoor is ie mooi zacht en in balans.

Fy fan i hela helvete vad bra. Lätt körsbär med hint av bourbon, lagom dos vanilj och förträfflig sötma ifrån maple.

Een zeer aangenaam fruitbierrje gerijpt in bourbon aten. Door de maple syrup subtiel zoet, maar w lekker plakkerig. In de afdronk komt de bourbon goed naar voren en dus genieten.

Sweet, but overbearing after 2. Still a stellar recioe nonetheless.

Super sweet and cherry forward. Maple syrup is barely perceptible and no bourbon barrel present. Slightly tart on the finish. Decent but I was hoping for more maple and bourbon.

The cherry is prominent and the bourbon follows on the backend. Very intriguing.

Quite Hearty & Sweet. The Cherry is Subtle, but Present. I don’t Like Maple in Beer, but this is done well. You can Taste it, but not Overwhelming. Bourbon Hovers in the Background. Well Done.

Nez cerise, fût de chêne, vanille. En bouche, le sirop d'érable est plus présent que la cerise, le fût présent en finale. Impressionnante longueur en bouche.

Now this is a wonderful brew. Smooth as can be, with the cherries melding with maple and a hint of vanilla/oak bourbon. But this doesn't feel boozy. It's subtle, complex, and wholly unique. Wow.

Every time I try a bourbon barrel I think I might like it, sadly mistaken. Equally as terrible.

Tarte cerise saveur sirop d'érable et bois bourbon. Une très belle réussite qui pour une fois à déjà été faite en 2017 avec la même étiquette.

Very sweet cherry beer with a hint of okay aftertaste that reminds me of barrel aging, maybe in a bourbon barrel.

Tart cherry and sweet maple make this beer stand above the crowd. With a medium abv of 8% this beer is very crushable.

Un lío, o una batalla de poder entre la madera del barril, el dulzor del sirope y una acidez de la cereza temprana, pero sin terminar de armonizar, aún así está bien. Debí dejarla más tiempo en la despensa para que se hermanaran sus componentes?
