Clear, low ABV GF beer?

[number40fan]

Any recipes out there? I found another GF drinker and she liked BL Lime. Is there something light that she can add her own lime to?

I make GF session beers all the time. Just take a recipe and cut the fermentables in half. When I write recipes I usually write a session partial mash recipe, usually with 3.3 lbs of sorghum and no more than a pound and a half of sugar or other fermentables, before I write a full recipe to taste the hops combinations. I have several session recipes on glutenfreehombrewing.org. They usually range from 3.5-4.5% ABV. They are all citrus hop bombs too😄👍👍

I made a Berliner Weiss that is quite light and very session-able:

Tradition is to add raspberry syrup to the beer afterward but I decided to use fresh fruit. This is optional. without it, i'd say it compares to bud light on mouthfeel, only it won't have the bad aftertaste that bud features

if you omitted the lactic acid (sourness) and halved or omitted the fruit altogether, you'll get about a 3% ABV beer that is probably yearning for a lime. that said, my wife is a huge fan of the fruit in secondary so I'd recommend giving it a try if you the first batch is too thin even with the lime.

I have a crap shoot of a beer going right now. Picked up 10 lbs. of malted rice, added 1 lb. of sugar, Saaz hops for a full 60 and finished it off with some S-23. Smaller batch, so I'll see what happens. Hoping to for a dry beer.
