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.

#300 Checkin! Very fruity & cherry. I taste a lot of bourbon in this. Not sure if it’s the greatest Founders product but it’s not the worst. goes down very smooth on the finish.

A little conflicted on this one. Some sips are a good crisp cherry that fades into bourbon, a little reminiscent of Southern Comfort. But some sips come across more medicinal. I get a hint of maple, but I don't think it fits with the beer.

Really excellent! But still missing a touch of something. More maple? More vanilla? Experimentation may be called for!

Here’s a beer with the thickness of cherry nectar, with that sweetness enhanced by vanilla, maple, & bourbon, & cut by the distinct woody taste of the barrels. Complex layers of flavor, and 8% ABV to help you think about that.

Best beer I’ve ever had from Founders! I’m impressed with how smooth and well-balanced it is. Nice notes of cherry and maple syrup. #BFL
