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.

One of the most interesting beers I’ve had lately. Plenty of oak plus cherry. It is like a port. Definitely a sipping beer.

Slight cherry finish, there is a hint off the barrel in there, but it’s far from overwhelming…This is an interesting beer, glad I tried it, would like to try on draft or nitro, not sure I would get more in bottles… the ABV is only 8%, not sure I would age

Not much going on in the funk department but it's still tasty

Sweet and fruity, well balanced cherry flavor. Has a tart finish and is a bit boozy.

A sweet cherry brew. Surprised me on my first taste. Sweeter than I thought it would be. Very good taste, smooth drinking beer.

Last one. It’s quite enjoyable and has a nice balance of BA and fruit.

I’m always on the look out for a lager similar to my favorite Cherry Rail from the now closed Cherryland Brewery. This is close. Maybe on the too sweet side. But it does have a nice cherry flavor.

Good cherry ale, barrel aging adds some nice depth. Maple finish.

Hulde voor Founders. Zelfs een cherry ale weten ze lekker drinkbaar te maken. Zoetje en zuurtje...
