This gluten-free American Pale Ale combines millet, buckwheat, and rice malts to create a smooth, full-bodied base that supports a burst of hop aroma and flavor. Featuring Cascade and Cryo® Cascade hops, this ale offers a bright citrus and floral profile balanced by a subtle malt sweetness from Cara and Biscuit malts. Enzymes Termamyl SC DS and SEBAmyl L ensure full starch conversion for excellent fermentation, while Mangrove Jack's M15 Empire Ale Yeast delivers a clean, crisp finish. With 6% ABV, 36 IBU, and a golden hue (SRM 7), this recipe is ideal for homebrewers crafting a flavorful, approachable, and truly gluten-free Pale Ale.
