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.

Great blending idea. It could use more time in the maple barrels. Hard to find. Solid Bier.

I know the std pour is 8 oz, I just hate getting a glass half full on arrival. That said, this beer is light but very complex. Maybe a bit cherry? Almost a bit of a champagne character so the flavor ends clipped/tart. Very interesting.
