Forbidden Fruit Spiced Apple Farmhouse Ale is the first of Red Hare’s seasonal series. Forbidden Fruit was brewed with ingredients to evoke the experience of fall in Georgia, from apple picking in Ellijay to enjoying a slice of freshly baked apple pie. The crust of this French-style brew is formed with 2-row malts and Munich malts plus two Caramel malts. Loads of fresh pressed apples from North Georgia are added laced with vanilla and cinnamon to give a sweetness, which is balanced by the addition of Saaz hops. Finally the whole recipe is "dry hopped" with cinnamon to create a finish that emulates the experience of the first bite of a fresh baked apple pie.
