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.

Bourbonflavor is light. Cherry and oak shine through. Bit sweet though.

Cherrrycola zonder prik vibes. Beetje raar rn ongebalanceerd. Zoet, zuur, zilt ook wat. Maple vind ik niet passen. Als amarene kersen met pannenkoekenstroop.

Nathan Burgess

Wanted to like this, and can appreciate what they were going for, but this was not enjoyable for me. The sweetness from the cherry was amplified by the vanillin notes of the wood and syrup, making an overwhelmingly sickly sweet combo. Couldn’t finish it.

It’s not as good as cough syrup. It is closer to liquid shoe leather.

When I bought this, I didn't see it was a cherry flavor and would have thought...OK Fine it a Founders Product. Doing that, I didn't care for it. Too much cherry for me. But hey, Somebody likes it.
