Description:

High Gravity Amber Ale is a robust gluten-free amber brewed with oat, rice and buckwheat malts, and quinoa for deep malt character and smooth body. When mashed with Ceremix® Flex and Ondea Pro, this recipe achieves significantly higher mash efficiency and improved fermentability, maximizing gravity and overall yield. Belgian candi syrup adds rich flavor and amber color. Balanced by Cascade and Amarillo hops, it delivers layered citrus, floral, and light caramel notes, creating a bold, full-flavored gluten-free amber ale with excellent complexity and drinkability.
