Description:
Mild Ale is a smooth, gluten-free ale crafted with sorghum syrup, candi sugar, molasses, agave syrup, and finished with honey for a rich, slightly sweet character. Perle, Hallertau, and Kent Goldings hops provide gentle bitterness and subtle floral notes, while Safale S-04 yeast delivers a clean, balanced fermentation. This approachable ale shows how classic mild flavors can be recreated entirely gluten-free.
