Honey of a Gluten-Free Lager is a crisp, refreshing American-style lager that showcases how simple ingredients can create exceptional gluten-free beer. Sorghum syrup provides a clean fermentable base, while local honey contributes subtle floral character and a dry, refreshing finish. Hallertau, Cascade, and Saaz hops add gentle bitterness and delicate herbal-citrus aroma, resulting in an easy-drinking lager that's equally enjoyable for dedicated gluten-free beer drinkers and those simply looking for a clean, refreshing pint.
