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.

Aromas are slightly old resin Hops and a hint of pot. Flavors are like nose, leaning bitter and dry with a soft body and a slightly bitter finish. Drinkable but not remarkable.

From can to pint glass. Pours a hazy, straw yellow with bright white head that stays around as a small cap can patterns cascade down the glass. Aroma is muted pine and straw with slight fruit. Flavor is a little more robust, especially for the alcohol level.

Sampled from tap at FDDB 2018. Almost clear, golden amber with a medium large, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, quite fruity, slightly grassy aroma of pineapple, lemon peel and some passion fruit. Slightly sweet, moderately bitter, rather fruity, slightly grassy and a little herbal taste of pineapple, lemon peel, passion fruit and some tea leaves, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly dry, moderately grassy finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice!

Can from de Bierliefhebber, canned 01/31/17. Almost clear yellow color, medium rocky head. Bit tropical fruit, bit candy and cookie. Medium bitterness, candy sweetness, slight grainy note. Even after a year old, this is very decent stuff. --- Beer merged from original tick of Ponto Session IPA on 01 Apr 2018 at 16:53 - Score: 7.

opalescent pale yellow colour, large, though not too stable white head; aroma of orange zest, grapefruit, pineapple and rotten tropical fruits (mango, mostly); taste has the same notes; very refreshing beer; would be a perfect choice for a hot summer evening

Can. A hazy yellow beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus fruits, and crisp malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, straw, citrus fruits, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.
