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.

Somehow a 2022 version??? A fairly cherry colored body, but some hops on the head. Lots of buttery oak on the nose, with the cherry being both sour, sweet, and light. The cherry flavor is light enough to be enjoyed, but the barrel hammers it home.

So this is a cherry ale aged in bourbon barrels that used to hold maple syrup. Nice tartness from the cherry that is quickly subverted by the sweetness from the maple. Honey? It never gets to be too maple-y nor does it linger too long. Super smooth for 8%
