Yellow strawgolden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of warm biscuit, toasted nuts, and honeyed citrus peel with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish displaying notes of toasted crackers, honey roasted cashew, sweet lemon rind, and melon. Light and refreshing, an impressive replacement for a standard barley malt beer that doesn’t feel like it’s sacrificing any quality or flavor.

Gluten Free Lager

Brewed from non-gluten containing cereals such as rice, sorghum, buckwheat, and corn, these beers were originally brewed for the small, but growing portion of the population intolerant to gluten. Gluten-free lagers commonly range between 4-5.5% in alcohol with further variations depending on interpretations of the style. Celiac disease affects roughly 1% of the US population, thus completely removing beer brewed from barley, rye, and wheat from their diet. This category is not defined by style, but instead by the portion of gluten found in the beer. While any lager style may theoretically be brewed as a gluten-free beer, most lagers in this category closely resemble gluten-free interpretations of pale and amber lager styles. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Lakefront New Grist, Redbridge and Green’s Enterprise Dry-Hopped Lager.
