    Auto correct changed the beer I was asking about

    One of my stores has a pack of 2017 Founder's Frootwood (bottled 12/16).
    Some posts talk about this beer at a year or two, but how about at 3+ years?

    Hmm never tried that beer fresh.but it sounds like it would still have something to offer at 4 years. May have lost some balance but it sounds like it should still be flavorful

    It is a shame it's been retired, that was tasty. Not my favorite of theirs, but really good for the year I spaced it out in. I'm just waiting for it to be a Mother Ship release, probably the only way I will get my hands on it again. Enjoy, and please let us know how it aged!
