It cleared 1 day after it was filed. The label names 3 hops — Nectar, Citra and Galaxy. The label carries the Brewers Association independent seal.
A circular emblem centred on the label contains a stylised tree with symmetrical roots and foliage, rendered in cream against an olive-green ground and framed by a white border. The beer name "early access" appears in a serif script below the emblem, while the brand name "FORBIDDEN ROOT" runs vertically in large sans-serif capitals along the right edge in cream. The overall field is a muted olive green.
