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.

Heavy oak flavor. Thinner bodied than I remember. Good, not spectacular.

Checked this in previously under a different vintage. This is the same vintage. Hit me totally differently this time. Not nearly as impressed. Too sweet and cherry too prominent.

Sweet, smooth, sticky maple, and barrel taste. Cherries taste a little off though, otherwise not bad

Less medicinal when colder. Also better from the bottle than in a glass. While barrel aged, that was my mistake to treat it more like a stout or old ale.

The maple and cherry are contrasting versions of sweetness which ends up being too much. Hala Madrid!

On se retrouve avec Founders ! On a une bière bien fruitée avec des touches de sirop d'érable, proche fruits rouges niveau saveur, possèdant un petit côté acidulé sympa #UFC276

Barrel aged from Founders alway the best. Some sour fruit and sweet aroma. Sweet not bitter, medium light in body and amber in color. Sweet and fruity finish not dry.
