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.

Compared 2021 vs 2017 - shockingly similar, more cherry in 2017

Clear reddish amber color, off-white collar, soapy lacing, cherry and oak aroma and taste, vanilla notes, very smooth, light bourbon finish.

I thought the maple syrup barrel aging would over power the cherry, but at all. The cherry shines through with a smoky, mapley undertone. So good!

This stuff is awesome! REALLY INTERESTING! A touch sweet, cherry, barrel contributions, kind of like a Belgian brew flavor in there. Wonderful aroma. I like it! I'll add that I am drinking it fairly warm, maybe 50/55⁰F. I would suggest that to all.

First it’s very boozy, but then it’s fruity and an almost coconut flavor. Big fan… somehow it’s the 2022 edition? I’m already in the future apparently??
