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

Sweet Jesus the maple barrel is not a good addition, very over powering. Why add that to fruit?! Can't taste anything else, light apple underlying doesn't help. If they were flip flopped in prominence it would be a lot better. I was excited at 1st :(

Oh my god that is fucking awful!! Cherry ale? Tastes like someone diluted some syrup with a really sweet bourbon and then maybe thought about putting a cherry on top to mask the ridiculously awful sweetness. Shit, I still have three from the 4-pack.
