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.

Start of the sip reminds me of Dippy’s Bulleit Mint Juleps. Cherry-forward in the middle and end. Reminiscent of port wine. VERY fruity, sweet. Tastes like strawberry mango blank tea from TPumps. Cool color, would not drink a lot of it — seems dangerous.

Bourbon with a dash cherry. The more you drink the more cherry you taste…

Fruity. But the maple barrel is great. My mouth is conflicted.

Not my favorite. Hits you with a burst of cherry and maple syrup with the bourbon barrels. Then just finishes with nothing...

Got a nice cherry beer here with hints of maple and smoother with bourbon. Definitely one to sip and enjoy.
