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.

It’s been almost a year and this has held up well. Still a favorite BA Series. The malty sweet funk is the key along with just a hint of barrel. Can’t wait for the next batch!!🍻😎

This has to be my favorite so far. I’ve had numerous 4 packs when they were available. I will truly miss this beer when my stockpile is depleted!

I bought this at Gold Eagle Liquor knowing that it’s over a year old but they are still selling it and it’s a favorite. A little dank and maybe funky but all in all that’s the flavor. Looking forward to some freshies. 🍻🥹

Outstanding! Light cherry notes with bourbon and maple syrup. Easy drinking without being overly boozy. Warming and a great beer for fall.

This beers description is 100% accurate and even though I’m not A huge Cherry fan, this is definitely a new favorite of mine. Hoping they bring out as a year round release

Do they still make this? I've saved this 2017 bottle for years and I love this beer. I get 0 tartness, but real good cherry flavor with a nice barrel finish. I might need to road trip if this is around elsewhere.

Cherry flavor forward with a hint of tartness. Maple imparts a velvety smoothness.

Fantastic, lambic like depth. Maple adds a nice sweetness that is not cloying.

FUCK. ME. RUNNING. Dude, this is SUPER sweet and that cherry flavour is ON POINT. Not as dark as what I would normally gravitate towards, but that flavour is SO GOOD, I'm not going to demerit it a point.

Holy shit it’s back! I loooove this beer and haven’t had it in so long. Cherry with an oaky and slightly sweet maple taste. Just fantastic. Raising that rating.

Damn. Good. Brew. Maple & Bourbon on the nose. Grab that first sip and cherry slaps the hell out of you then suddenly it's calm, warming. Bourbon on the back end. Absolutely fantastic.

The cherry and maple are a nice way to buffer the horsepower under the bottle cap. 8% that tastes like 2%.
