Description:
A bright, gluten-free session ale designed for hot days and easy drinking. Light, crisp, and refreshing with a low ABV, this beer showcases vibrant tropical citrus notes of orange and tangerine from Amarillo and Citra hops. The partial mash of buckwheat and millet adds just enough malt character to balance the sorghum extract without weighing it down, making it an ideal poolside or lawnmower gluten-free beer that stays flavorful while remaining highly drinkable.
