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.

Soft cherry sweetness enhanced by maple syrup barrel aging brings oak, vanilla, light bourbon. Tastes more like a mixed drink definitely unique! Great mouthfeel no bitterness. Superior craftsmanship by the master innovators at Founders A/A+

Nice cherry aroma and flavor. A little bit tart, but very smooth and well balanced. Get plenty of vanilla from the barrel. A very nice beer.

Delicious! Great blend of the fruit (sweet and tart) with the classic ale taste.

Velvety bourbon with a tart cherry finish. Similar in barrel aging to Old Crums Better Half. Suggest drinking it warm to really enjoy it fully...🍒😉

The first cherry beer I’ve had that doesn’t have that tartness. The maple and bourbon cut it with sweetness that I love.

Interesting mix of maple and cherry. Not quite what I expected but good.

Not as tart as I was bracing for. Slight cherry tartness helps balance out the sweetness. Lots of maple and vanilla.

Bottled 09Nov2021. Tart cherry flavor with syrupy maple flavor, hints of vanilla. Complex and interesting
