Lime Light Lager is a crisp, refreshing gluten-free lager with a bright hint of lime and a clean, dry finish. Built on a light partial mash of gluten-free specialty malts with sorghum extract, rice syrup solids, and Belgian candi sugar, this easy-drinking recipe is perfect for warm afternoons, backyard barbecues, and relaxing with friends. Brew it with one of the recommended hybrid lager yeasts for a clean lager-like profile at ale temperatures, or choose a traditional lager yeast and cold fermentation for an even more authentic lager character.
