Where this comes from
Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data
A circular emblem centred on the label features a stylised tree with exposed roots rendered in sage green, flanked by the initials F and R in yellow within a white ring on a dark teal ground. The beer name appears in serif caps below the emblem in white, with the style descriptor in yellow beneath. The brewery's Forbidden Root shield logo occupies the upper left in outlined yellow on the dark field, while the right edge carries the beer name again in tall, condensed yellow sans-serif type running vertically.
