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.

Smooth, sweet and slightly tart cherry and maple flavor. The cherry flavor is not overly sweet or syrupy. Little bit of barrel flavor in the finish. Well done balanced flavor profile.

Cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. Yes it’s sweet, but quite tasty. I could only have one of these though.

Too sweet. Love the idea, but there is too much maple/cherry sweetness. Needs a balance

Could hardly believe Tim A.s rating until I tried it for myself. Oddly sweet and very light

Was really hoping this was a stout. Nice cherry flavor, but a stout would give more depth.

Pleasantly surprised. There is tangy cherry (not tart or sour, a plus), vanilla from the bourbon, & some maple. All flavors are pleasantly balanced and none are overwhelming. Nice.

Fantastic, lambic like depth. Maple adds a nice sweetness that is not cloying.

Bourbon with a dash cherry. The more you drink the more cherry you taste…

Fruity. But the maple barrel is great. My mouth is conflicted.
