Founders to re-release Frootwood (2021)

Unbeknownst to Founders, NyQuil is already a year-round release at major chain drugstores.

 

Go figure, just a few weeks ago I was poking around their website and found Frootwood listed. I figured it was retired but I was still intrigued and want to see if I could find an old bottle somewhere. Now I don't have to!

 

There are better uses for cherries.

 

I really liked this beer last time around so I'm glad to see that they'll try it again.

 

What a waste of bourbon and maple syrup barrels that could have been used to make more CBS.

 

12oz is actually a relatively palatable serving of this beer. The bombers last time around are waaaaaay to much.

 

They were 12oz last time.

 

Wasn’t it stronger than 8% last time it was released?

 

hmmm maybe I'm thinking of the release before that idk

 

Something I don’t think the market really asked for, but whatever.

 

Nope, gave it a 3.94, which for me is low. I mostly dinged it on flavor, not much cherry, no bourbon detected. Also, not many Fruit and Field style beers impress me. Guess I don't like the taste of Field. I may review it again though, since my tastes have changed a lot in the intervening five years.

 

I'd have to try them side-by-side, but I liked Rübæus (4.14), and loved Blushing Monk (4.25). Then again, I prefer raspberries over cherries.

 

Nope, never seen it.
