STORY
Overview: Sunshine and Mango Sour is a bright, tart mango beer brewed with Golden Ale Brewing Extract, Golden LME, Honey Malt, lactose sugar, lactic acid, Jumex Mango Nectar, and S-04 yeast. It delivers soft malt sweetness, juicy mango flavor, creamy body, refreshing tartness, and a 5.51% finish.

Tasting Notes: Expect a lightly sweet and tart mango beer with golden malt flavor, honey-like malt sweetness, smooth lactose body, juicy mango character, and a clean lactic acid finish. It is fruity, refreshing, and built for warm-weather drinking.
IMPORTANT BREWING NOTE
Contains Lactose: This recipe includes lactose, a milk-derived sugar used to add sweetness, body, and a creamy mouthfeel. In a finished 2-gallon batch, that equals about 0.25 oz, or 7 g, per 16 oz pint.
Mango Addition Note: The room-temperature can of Jumex Mango Nectar is added directly to the fermenter on day 7. Carefully pour it in, replace the lid, and let fermentation continue.
Lactic Acid Note: The bottle of lactic acid is added to the fermenter right before bottling. This gives the beer its tart sour-style finish.
Yeast Note: Use the included S-04 yeast for this recipe. Do not use the yeast packet from under the Brewing Extract lid.
