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.

Mwa. Net helemaal mijn ding. Te zoetsappig. Een soort disneyfilm in een flesje. Maar dan zonder disneyfilm, met te zoet bier.

Sweet child of mine. Super sweet! Man man, vrouw vrouw, das zoet…. Alles wordt weggedrukt door zoet- de besjes en de maple syrup vechten om voorrang. Hij is dus veul te zoet. Voor mij

Never thought I’d ever score a Founder’s so low…the concept is there and the potential is immense. However there is a strange rounded butteriness that is almost nauseating. I’m having a hard time with this one…

A little conflicted on this one. Some sips are a good crisp cherry that fades into bourbon, a little reminiscent of Southern Comfort. But some sips come across more medicinal. I get a hint of maple, but I don't think it fits with the beer.

Interesting complexity, but in the end, overpowered by the maple sweetness. The combination of that and the cherry tones give it cough syrup undertones that I just don't want in my beer.
