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.

You can smell the cherry as soon as you open the bottle. First sip was cherry, boozy, bourbon goodness. At 8% it’s a glorious sipper. 😉

From 11.21. Really thinned out and lost most of the flavor.

Start of the sip reminds me of Dippy’s Bulleit Mint Juleps. Cherry-forward in the middle and end. Reminiscent of port wine. VERY fruity, sweet. Tastes like strawberry mango blank tea from TPumps. Cool color, would not drink a lot of it — seems dangerous.

It’s fruity and sweet and reminds me of a mellow juice I would find in my fridge.

At Craig D.’s place for FBF! Reddish-amber, tart fruity with cherry prominently, crisp mouthfeel leaving a tart aftertaste.

I like the cherry flavor but not a fan of mixing it with bourbon and maple syrup.

Reminiscent of a kriek up front with less acidity, with a boozy but balanced boozy and maple finish.

wow that was fruity hint of bourbon, but the fruit overpowers it to the point where you only get the bourbon taste on the finish
