Lluna de València is a refreshing, gluten-free European Light Lager that balances a delicate malt profile with high drinkability. At a sessionable 3.5% ABV, it presents a subtle grainy sweetness derived from alternative grains, which replaces traditional barley while maintaining a flavorful core. The profile is defined by its clean, crisp nature and a light body that caters to celiacs without sacrificing sensory appeal. Mild herbal hop notes provide a gentle counterpoint to the bready malt character, finishing dry and thirst-quenching. It is a well-attenuated, bright example of a specialty grain lager designed for easy enjoyment.
