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.

Già al naso è bella dolciotta e aromatica. Poi per tutta la bevuta viene fuori bene la botte, la ciliegia, il bourbon, il miele, la vaniglia. È mooolto ruffiana. Forse troppo sul dolce ma molto buona.

Que cerveza más curiosa. En boca tiene la madera y dulzor del jarabe de arce, en el regusto, un sabor a cereza, afrutado, largo y dulce. Muy, muy rica

C’est très bon, sucré comme une bière fruitée classique mais avec le côté barrel aged qui apporte de la rondeur, je valide le concept

I get all the advertised flavors here starting with the tart cherry, sweet vanilla-maple & bourbon booziness. Medium body at most. Finishes with a bit of dryness but it brings a nice finely carbonated feel. I get the woodsy idea as well. Complex & tasty!

Think it was a little too heavy on the cherry and had a slight flavor of cough syrup in my mind. Could have been worse.

Cherry, with small hints of maple. It was a real good sipper.

It is exactly what it claims to be. A bit tart, but it's got a nice depth.

Repeat. Cherry, vanilla & maple on the nose. Taste mirrors the aroma exactly! Subtle oak barrel. No bitterness whatsoever. Maple surprisingly pairs well with vanilla & cherries. 🍒

All the notes come out. A bit too barrel heavy for the poor cherry beer to keep up though

You can smell the cherry as soon as you open the bottle. First sip was cherry, boozy, bourbon goodness. At 8% it’s a glorious sipper. 😉

12oz OG bottle from 12/16. Just found I had 16 of these still at the retailer where I bought them! Holding up well w/on-point sweet/tart cherry flavor still. I’m more into bourbon & old fashioneds now so wanted to add more bourbon & some orange bitters.
