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.

Fin founders öl. Lugn körsbärssmak som balanseras bra av ölen. Väldigt god och len. Söt fruktig

Very interesting. Tasted like a cross between a barley wine a cider and a barreled beer.

Took a chance on this one because, well, Founders and I had never seen or had it. Strangely good. I don’t get the maple much from the barrel but I still liked it. Cheers

Maple balances the cherries. Slight foam at opening, but the pour was fine.

Very sweet cherry beer with a hint of okay aftertaste that reminds me of barrel aging, maybe in a bourbon barrel.

Tarte cerise saveur sirop d'érable et bois bourbon. Une très belle réussite qui pour une fois à déjà été faite en 2017 avec la même étiquette.

Wasn't sure what to expect. Not sure I get the maple but there is definitely cherry and barrel

Quite Hearty & Sweet. The Cherry is Subtle, but Present. I don’t Like Maple in Beer, but this is done well. You can Taste it, but not Overwhelming. Bourbon Hovers in the Background. Well Done.

Sweet, but overbearing after 2. Still a stellar recioe nonetheless.

Een zeer aangenaam fruitbierrje gerijpt in bourbon aten. Door de maple syrup subtiel zoet, maar w lekker plakkerig. In de afdronk komt de bourbon goed naar voren en dus genieten.

Mooi fruitbier, zoet, kersen, maple syrup en iets hout van het lageren op bourbon vaten. Daardoor is ie mooi zacht en in balans.

Founders och fatlagring... Blir guld nästan varje gång. Döv övermogen dammig frukt och tung trevlig fat, vanilj och sirap. Tänkte det lät halvdant man fan vad gott. Bra till LOTR 2
