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.

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

Excellent. I’m not normally into fruit flavored beer but this has a mellow finish.

Hulde voor Founders. Zelfs een cherry ale weten ze lekker drinkbaar te maken. Zoetje en zuurtje...

Good cherry ale, barrel aging adds some nice depth. Maple finish.

I’m always on the look out for a lager similar to my favorite Cherry Rail from the now closed Cherryland Brewery. This is close. Maybe on the too sweet side. But it does have a nice cherry flavor.
