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.

All the notes come out. A bit too barrel heavy for the poor cherry beer to keep up though

Oooooooo. Quite a delicious blend of cherry and maple bourbon. Not for those who don’t like to try something “different”. I found it absolutely amazing!!!! Cheers!!! 🍻

Frooty kersenbier, licht zuurtje maar vooral de zoetigheid van de bourbon en maple syrup BA komt door. Heel zacht

wow that was fruity hint of bourbon, but the fruit overpowers it to the point where you only get the bourbon taste on the finish

Mildly sweet, fruity, crisp and nicely balanced. A light but very complex drink.

Reminiscent of a kriek up front with less acidity, with a boozy but balanced boozy and maple finish.

I like the cherry flavor but not a fan of mixing it with bourbon and maple syrup.

At Craig D.’s place for FBF! Reddish-amber, tart fruity with cherry prominently, crisp mouthfeel leaving a tart aftertaste.

It’s fruity and sweet and reminds me of a mellow juice I would find in my fridge.

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.
