This bold, hop-forward gluten-free beer recipe is built on a clean, fermentable grain bill of millet and buckwheat malts, delivering a solid malt backbone that supports intense hop character. A complex blend of Millennium, Columbus, CTZ, Horizon, Simcoe, Bravo, and Crystal hops creates layers of citrus, pine, resin, and tropical fruit, resulting in a modern, aggressively hopped gluten-free ale with depth, aroma, and balance. Powered by Ceremix® Flex enzymes for efficient conversion and fermented with Lallemand BRY-97 yeast for a clean, crisp finish, this recipe is ideal for gluten-free homebrewers looking to push hop flavor while maintaining excellent drinkability.
