Honey and beer go together extremely well – so well that this is our third honey beer this year. We’ve learned a little something from each batch and continue to work on making them tastier each time. For this beer we decided to take things tropical and use our Flavored Mango Honey . Flavored Mango Honey is our regular raw sage honey with light amounts of natural mango extract mixed in. It’s one of our best selling honeys and a customer favorite with five-star reviews.

The Mango Honey Ale turned out exceptionally well. When pouring it into a glass the first thing noticeable is a good frothy head, crisp carbonation, and a slightly hazy, golden body. It also has a wonderful bouquet of sweet, tropical mango with just a hint of honey. The taste starts with a solid mango flavor that carries through, minimal hop characters and finishes with a subtle, honey-floral flavor.

The Factory, a now closed Long Beach restaurant dedicated to craft beers, had a homebrew festival. As you can see in the picture on the right we had our beer in the competition aptly named Capt. Mango and the Honeybees. Our beer was very popular, winning a silver medal in the Fruit Beer category and bronze in Best of Show!
