Description:

Lime-Lite Lager is crafted to deliver a crisp, refreshing gluten-free lager with a gentle lime accent and a clean, dry finish. It’s an easy-to-brew, extract-based recipe designed for a light-bodied, highly drinkable beer that’s especially enjoyable in warm weather. A simple gluten-free extract foundation is balanced with light hopping and a hint of lime to create a smooth, approachable flavor profile with subtle citrus brightness. It is typically fermented using a hybrid ale/lager yeast that performs well at standard ale temperatures while still producing a clean, lager-like character without the need for precise cold fermentation control. For those wanting a more traditional lager expression, a true lager yeast can be used with cold fermentation to achieve a classic, fully authentic profile. This recipe is also available as a ready-to-go gluten-free beer kit, with everything pre-measured for convenience and consistent results.
