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.

Duft av citrus og noe honning. Dunkel gul farge. Tynn hinne skum, heng langs kant. Litt sur smak av citrus med en anelse honning.

can 1 pint. Pours yellow with a slight haze and a creamy, white head. Subtle citrusy hop aroma. Light body, soft on the palate initially but then a rather brutal hoppiness kicks in. Would’ve loved a fresher and more distinct hop imprint. Just appears crudely hoppy. 161014

Can courtesy of GT2. Thanks man! Pours tiny hazy yellow with a frothy and rocky offwhite head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of spotty and sticky trace on the glass. Smell is fruity and slightly floral with crackers, pink grapefruit juice, star fruit, pineapple juice, minerals, freshly cut grass, pine needles, white grape skins and lemon zest. Taste is bitter, fruity and floral with crackers, grapefruit juice, passion fruit, pineapple juice, star fruit, freshly cut grass, pine needles, lemon zest, lemon balm and minerals. Mouthfeel is soft, round, dry, tiny watery, tiny astringent and light bodied. Finish is slightly bitter, slightly fruity and floral with crackers, grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, star fruit, freshly cut grass, pine needles, gooseberries, white grape skins, lemon balm, minerals and lemon zest. What a treat! Man I envy anyone who gets to crush fresh cans of this on a daily basis. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ponto Session IPA on 07 Aug 2014 at 22:11 - Score: 10.

Geez I was sure I’d added this rating already. Had this served in champagne flutes for my birthday dinner. Beautiful clear gold pour with a fizzy white head. Nice fruity pine/resin hop nose. Medium bodied, I find the carbonation a bit rough/aggressive. Quite bitter taste, grapefruit, pithy citrus & some pine with a green pine needle kind of finish. Tons of hop flavor in a sessionable IPA make it quite nice.

Can from CBB. Tropical fruit nose, light bready malts. Clear golden color like a pils. Low head. Crisp citrus and tropical fruit flavor, grapefruit, stinky mango, high bitterness. Clean and tasty, though a bit plain overall. Got somewhat too bitter and stinky (mango) as it warmed.

Can. Hazy gold with a fluffy white head that laces well. Aroma of grapefruit and other zesty citrus, hay, mango. Light bodied, fairly high carbonation. Citrus and tropical fruit - maybe some rambutans and makrut lime. Moderate bitterness. Good. [3.7]Can. Pale gold, just a little hazy with lasting white head that leaves rings and chunks of lace. Lots of lime, moderate tropical fruit, plain supporting hayish pale malt. It’s still pretty vibrant after its journey here. Just does the job.
