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 and fruity, with a BBA-esque vanilla finish. Even though it’s only 8%, I’m not sure I would drink more than one of these in a session

2021 version. Had this stuff once B4 in 2017. Likes it then and still do. Not overly sweet, nice tartness, creamy mouth feel. Could use a touch more carbonation. Very good.

Strong cherry fruit flavor with a slight tart afternote. Goes down smooth compared to more fruit beers. Tasted better when chilled.

Unless I lost my taste due to Covid, there is not a lot going on here.

This is almost TOO sweet to drink a whole one by myself. Never had anything like it. Hardly any bourbon flavor present. Tastes like cherry juice with a honey Meade

It’s NOT super sweet, but I get the cherry & maple. The barrel aging gives it an edge, but it’s super smooth. It’s not your average fruit beer.

Wow. A lot of cherry! Not tart at all. Sweet. Cherry is even stronger as it sits but still not what I would say is tart. But this is LOADED with flavor. Not boozy at 8. Nice. Fruity. Smooth. Of you like cherries you’ll love this sweet cherry pie!

Well. My man law: No fruit in beer. However not too bad after the first few sips. But one was enough.
