American Wheat or Rye Beer 5.1 º 30 IBU

Green Gold Brewing

Forbidden Fruit by Green Gold Brewing is a vibrant and refreshing take on the American Wheat Beer style, specifically designed for summer sessionability. The sensory profile is defined by a prominent, juicy mango infusion that melds seamlessly with a clean, neutral fermentation profile. Beneath the tropical fruit, a solid foundation of wheat malt provides essential bready and doughy cues. The absence of traditional German yeast phenols or esters allows the fruit and a light, floral hop presence to shine. This is a bright, highly carbonated ale that balances fruit-forward sweetness with a crisp, grain-focused finish, delivering a fluffy and inviting mouthfeel.

Appearance. Pale yellow to light gold in color (approx. 4-5 SRM). Pours with a large, long-lasting, mousse-like white head that leaves consistent lacing. Clarity ranges from clear to a slight haze, often accentuated by the fruit addition.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clear, ripe mango tropicality. This is supported by low to moderate grainy, bready, and doughy wheat malt notes. A light floral and citrusy hop character is present. The fermentation is clean, lacking any banana esters or clove phenols.

Taste. Initial impression is refreshing and fruit-forward with distinct mango flavors. A light to moderate bready and doughy wheat malt backbone supports the fruit without being heavy. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough balance to prevent a sugary finish. The profile is clean with no spicy or phenolic yeast character, finishing crisp and relatively dry with a lingering hint of tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, slightly creamy, and fluffy texture characteristic of wheat-heavy grists. Carbonation is medium-high to high, providing a bright, tingling sensation. Alcohol warmth is negligible, making it highly sessionable.
