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.

Thought the bourbon would hit more but it was tasty.

Syrupy sweet cherry-laden Bourbon barrel Ale. Lower lip sticking to the glass rim. Lovely red color with bone-white head. Candy-ish and boozy main drive, strandy…almost Cognac. Bitter black cherry skin bite in back. A session-finisher. Cheers!

Tart cherry ale aged and smoothed in oak maple syrup barrels. Nice earthy wood tones to go along with a bit on vanilla & maple and softened tart cherry fruitiness. 8% ABV, 15 IBU.

A little like a Shirley temple. Grenadine, a little booze, and light maple syrup. A little like cherry syrup so be prepared for sweetness.

When you want to try something different, this is a real good one to try. Nice cherry w/a little maple favor.
