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.

A wonderful progression of flavors: cherry 🍒 and bourbon 🥃 up front followed seamlessly by a maple syrup vanilla finish !!

Mmmmm. A hint of maple, but not too sugary. Just the right amount of cherry and sweetness. Would drink again.

WOW! Their description is spot on. Oak IS the spotlight, with a hint of bourbon in the background. There is a touch of sweetness. And the sour cherry IS moderated beautifully, with a huge depth of character. A unique and enjoyable elixir.

Wow such an easy drinker. Light, smooth, and a great blend of cherry and bourbon. I didn't get much of the maple flavor but loves it all the same.
