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 beer sounds a bit overkill but it's actually quite balanced and nice. Aroma of sweet sharp cherries with a touch of oak. The Beer is almost marshmallow-y but without the actual flavor. Nice touch of acid with cherries. Brown sugar finish and oak.

Tart cherries are sweetened by maple syrup. There is vanilla flavor As well as a light bourbon. Absolutely delicious and unusual unique to itself A

From now! Tons of barrel but I think the base beer is overwhelmed by it. Needs a stronger beer to stand up to the barrel. Cherry and sweet follow. Solid brew.

Smells berry-like, yeast-y and sour. Taste is sweet with some balance and bite following. Mildly sour compared to how it smells. Good!

When I bought this, I didn't see it was a cherry flavor and would have thought...OK Fine it a Founders Product. Doing that, I didn't care for it. Too much cherry for me. But hey, Somebody likes it.
