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.

Sour cherries and sweet bourbon in the nose. Both the cherries and the bourbon give a balanced flavor. The sour from the cherries is countered with the bourbon sweetness. This beer is both refreshing and warming.

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

Finally get to try one of my white whale beers and was not disappointed! Sweet cherry that’s complemented well by the subtle bourbon barrel and maple. The bourbon and maple aren’t super prominent but they are there enough to elevate the beer.

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

Aging this beer nearly 4 years really combined and mellowed the flavors together. No tart bite at all. Smooth finish.
