About This Beer

Martin House Brewing Co. simply describes their 16% ABV(!!) Forbidden Fruit as “Barrel Aged Limoncello.”

Wait, what?

Limoncello is a fancy Italian lemon liqueur consisting mostly of lemon and sugar. And barrel aging refers to, well, conditioning in wood barrels. What the heck kind of beer concoction is this?

An absolutely delicious Imperial Sour Ale, it turns out! Martin House took their Limoncello (a sweet-tart lemon beer inspired by the famous liqueur) and aged it for five months in whiskey barrels. Left unblended and unfiltered for maximum flavor, the finished result is a fancy-as-heck, tangy liqueur-beer experience!


Tasting Notes

The lemon comes through loud and clear upfront, mellowing into candied citrus. The finish is like sipping an Old Fashioned cocktail, replete with hints of bourbon-soaked brown sugar, amarena cherry, and orange zest.

Boozy Tart Oaky

surprisingly very good. personally I would’ve liked more barrel character but that’s okay. hides the alcohol very well. if I come across these again, I’ll definitely buy more!

A light beer with the deep flavor of the whiskey barrels imbued in every sip, a bold fruit beer with layers both strong and enjoyable. Wish I had more!
