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.

Very easy to drink For a barrel aged beer. Also very easy to drink considering it’s cherry. I actually liked it quite a bit. Not a style I would typically choose but I think it was very well done.

Leuk bier. Doorschijnend rood/paars met mooi wit schuim. Frisse kers, gezoet door de esdoornsiroop. Bourbon haal ik er niet uit. Wel het eikenhout van het vat. Licht zuur/rins, niet té zoet, (tannine)bittertje. Lekker!

Maybe I've become accustomed to Founders beers being BIG. This 8% ABV light colored ale is refreshing although far from what I expected from a maple syrup bourbon barrel-aged ale. Rich in flavor without being heavy.

It tastes like a cherry sour that mellowed out most of the sourness in the aging… sweet notes of maple and a vanilla bourbon finish…fantastic!

Sweet, but not overly. Decent cherry notes. Sweetness come from two sources, cherries and maple syrup barrels. Aged 1 year. Ages well.

Smells strong maple and cherry. Tart cherry with notes of vanilla, maple and bourbon. This was different and it’s easy drinkable for this ABV🙄

Something different. Cherry, but also heavy and not overly sweet. I am unsure of my opinion on this. Five more over time will change that.
