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 sweet, heavy cherry. Dare I say syrupy.

It’s cherry but it’s not medicinal. Pretty light overall, not too tart by any means. Vanilla and maple are just barely evident. Would be great paired with some cheese

Mothership series dated 11 – 13–20. The sweetness fades with age. Still has some cherry. I like it. Go wings

Would have loved a non Oak barrel. I think the oakyness distracted from all the other lovely things happening here. Cherry and sweet maple, slight bourbon heat pops in. It has a complex profile. Reality is I just miss the original cherry founders beer
