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.

I think I liked this more in theory than in execution. It’s so sweet and fruity it borders on tasting like a mixed drink with a goofy name. I get no bourbon, little syrup, just an artificial cherry flavor. Pass on a second round.

Never thought I’d ever score a Founder’s so low…the concept is there and the potential is immense. However there is a strange rounded butteriness that is almost nauseating. I’m having a hard time with this one…

Cherry front, rolling red through wheat, bumping a hop, but finishing clear.

Wasn’t sure what I was getting here but pleasantly surprised. Sweet, tart, and the oak, maple and bourbon are subtle but add what makes this enjoyable. Almost as enjoyable as yesterday’s ice bath, the first of the year and a real shrinking experience. 🥶

A little too boozy, but the cherry flavor. Ones through in a big way.

Has a strong cherry flavor up front that is shortly followed by the sweetness of the maple syrup. This is a nice fruit beer that is a little sweet.

Sweet smooth cherry flavor. Not what I expected, but very tasty. Tasted like less sweet cherry soda. Definitely don’t taste the 8%!
