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.

Thanks Joe! Tastes how it is described. Not overwhelming cherry. Too sweet for me

Nice cherry flavor that’s just sweet enough with a bit of tartness.

Boozy on the nose and lightly on the front end of a sip. A subtle cherry aroma and taste throughout. Its very much like a light cherry sparkling wine with a warming booze aftertaste. I'm certain you will enjoy this more if you don't treat it like a beer.

The warm, fruitiness is strange. Almost tastes boozy it’s so rich. Hard to get through.

Mix of cherry and bourbon barrel is great. Founders barrel aged series is not done better by anyone else. This does not disappoint.
