Fruity flour

I am struggling with a new bread flour that seems to produce a strong, fruity aroma as soon as I add water for the autolyse. The first loaves I made with it almost tasted like I had added apples and cinnamon, but it was a mostly white Sourdough loaf, using Forkish's recipe from FWSY. Any thoughts on what I can do to mitigate or time left eliminate this aroma?

Sounds like a particular flour in use.  What is the exact name of the flour you are using and about where are you located?
