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.

Better than I expected. This could become a regular.

Light cherry and bourbon nose. Sweet cherries up front leading to a light, semi-sweet, bourbon finish with just a faint hint of maple flavor. Definitely a dessert beverage. It hides that 8% too well, it went down really fast! 4.39! 😲 🍺🍻🍺

Has a strong cherry flavor up front that is shortly followed by the sweetness of the maple syrup. This is a nice fruit beer that is a little sweet.

Soft cherry sweetness enhanced by maple syrup barrel aging brings oak, vanilla, light bourbon. Tastes more like a mixed drink definitely unique! Great mouthfeel no bitterness. Superior craftsmanship by the master innovators at Founders A/A+

Nice cherry aroma and flavor. A little bit tart, but very smooth and well balanced. Get plenty of vanilla from the barrel. A very nice beer.
