Don't let the color fool you. This gluten-free Dark Lager is as crisp and refreshing as your favorite pale lager while delivering the smooth complexity of roasted gluten-free malts. Layers of toasted bread, light chocolate, and subtle roast create depth without the heavy body of a stout, making it an excellent choice for brewers looking to explore darker gluten-free beer styles with exceptional drinkability.
