This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Bee Catcher Honey Ale.
The Saranac Bee Catcher Honey Ale was one of the four brews contained in the 12 Beers of Spring mix box. This also included the new Ruby Red Ale (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/03/sunday-night-suds-saranac-ruby-red-ale.html) and Polinator Pils and last year's Polar Haze IPA (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/03/sunday-night-suds-saranac-polar-haze-ipa.html).
The Bee Catcher Honey Ale is an American Blonde Ale with some honey added to the brew process, but it is not an overly sweet beer. The beer poured a golden yellow with some lacing, but completely clear. Although it is an ale, there was not much bitter to the beer and it was also quite bready. There was also not much alcohol taste despite the 5.3% abv, which leads me to wonder whether it was just too chilled when I had it.
I have not seen this beer sold in anything but the 12 Beers of Spring Box and I am unaware of this beer being sold in six or twelve packs, so if you want this beer you need to pick up the mix box.
The Beer Catcher Ale is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as is every other beer produced at the Matt Brewery plant in Utica, NY. Keep in mind, Saranac brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.
