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.

The beer sounds a bit overkill but it's actually quite balanced and nice. Aroma of sweet sharp cherries with a touch of oak. The Beer is almost marshmallow-y but without the actual flavor. Nice touch of acid with cherries. Brown sugar finish and oak.

Tart cherries are sweetened by maple syrup. There is vanilla flavor As well as a light bourbon. Absolutely delicious and unusual unique to itself A

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.

Barrel-aged perfection…light cherry ale aged in oak barrels that held both maple syrup and bourbon. Great infusion!!! 😎🍒🍁🥃🍺🇺🇸

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

Excellent. I’m not normally into fruit flavored beer but this has a mellow finish.
