Named after the southernmost beach and surf break in Carlsbad, Ponto truly embodies the spirit of the southern California lifestyle. Refreshingly light in body and low in ABV, there is certainly no sacrifice in hop character with this sessionable IPA. With a hefty dose of American and New Zealand hops, this beer is bright and filled with hints of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit. Rumored to be a favorite among the disc-golf community, this beer is the perfect accompaniment to any outdoor activity. Hops: Crystal, Citra, Rakau, Motueka, Waimea, Southern Cross.

Pale golden with a white head - Fresh fruity hop aroma - Good malt to support a hop profile that has citrus and other fruity flavours - The citrus from hops goes into a dry finish - This was good

Tap at Bodega Fermin. Clear golden with white head. Lots of citrus hops, lime, fresh grass, mineral water, light mint. Light sweet and under medium bitter. Light bodied with dry feel. The hops work nicely here!

On Saturday 21st May 2016 I visited Pizza Port’s San Clemente brewpub and had two flights of four beers, this was on the second one. Pale, hoppy but bland overall compared to the other beers I had on the flights. Just not enough of anything within the brew, I can do subtle but this was weak in my opinion (first beer from Pizza Port I have not enjoyed).

Can at home split with Sarah, brought back from the states. Pours a bright translucent yellow / straw coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Aroma is nice mix of pithy citrus, singed pine needles, tarmac. Some raw bready grainy oats on the nose. Nice. Flavour is composed a solid base malt, hints of wheat and oats. with a grassy citrus and piney hop mix. Assertive clean hop bitterness. Palate is nicely rounded, medium bodied, slightly grainy frothy carbonation. Goes down very easily and packs very good flavour for the small package.

16 oz can poured. Thanks to Tim for the can. Pours a cloudy golden yellow color with a thick rocky foam head. Very nice hop citrus aroma. Grassy hop, bright citrus flavor and linger. Everything I want to see in an awesome session IPA. Excellent.

On tap at The Bottle Shop London. Clear gold bright lasting white head. Fresh pink grapefruit and mango aroma. Very light and good citrus fruity flavour. Nice tart citrus fruit bite on the finish. Without doubt a very sessional beer. Soft condition. Bit fizzy. Good I thought
