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.

Sweet, but not overly. Decent cherry notes. Sweetness come from two sources, cherries and maple syrup barrels. Aged 1 year. Ages well.

Cherry ale that has been aged in oak barrels that once held both bourbon and maple syrup. Sweet, fruity with just a touch of tartness from the cherry. Solid ABV at 8%. If you are looking for something sweet and fruity, this brew is for you.

Similar to new glarus... Lovely execution and why don't more breweries make something like this? 2021 vintage (11.15.2021). Cherry pie filling and molasses. Sweet and thick, light wood tannin and oak and maple. Would go hard in autumn. Tasty fruit beer.

Smells strong maple and cherry. Tart cherry with notes of vanilla, maple and bourbon. This was different and it’s easy drinkable for this ABV🙄

Ok so I love Founders and this one is good... it's just not my fav. I wouldn't pass up a glass of it was handed to me, so there's that. But just would be my TOP pick. Fruity, sweet, not quite stout enough.
