Description:
A light, gluten-free session ale built for maximum drinkability at low ABV. Bright Cascade hops deliver classic grapefruit and citrus zest, with Centennial adding a touch of floral depth and clean bitterness. Roasted buckwheat provides subtle nutty malt character to support the hops without heaviness, while sorghum extract keeps the body light and crisp. Refreshing, flavorful, and easy to enjoy pint after pint.
