Description
Brewing high-quality beer, without excessive alcohol content, is what itβs all about. The name Sonnen Hill comes from Sonne, which translates to sun and our family name Hill.
Sonnen Hill was founded in 2017 and we started brewing beer in 2018. For our first two years we were a very small operation and only distributed products to bars and restaurants across Ontario. In 2020, we opened our bottle shop in the height of the pandemic and now sometimes send beer to other provinces across Canada and countries in Europe and Asia. We are family-owned and -operated and are a small team of passionate individuals who work very hard to produce the quality products that we do.

Hazy and pale, and thin head. Floral and a touch yeasty. There's a nice buggy note here and the floral accents complement the sweet base malt. Off-dry finish. Mild acidity. Pretty good.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy blonde gold with small white head. Lightly bitter dandelion note (kind of arugula-like flavour), feint oak, just a hint of chamomile, rustic saison yeast, fairly dry, oddly enjoy this blend more than I expected.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice bouquet of buggy wild yeast, rustic saison yeast, and gentle floral notes. Flavour is lightly tart, with citrus, rustic saison yeast, some bugs, light dandelion, and a touch of chameleon. Rustic, citrusy, and floral notes on the finish, with a nice grainy mouthfeel. Good stuff.

750ml (thanks, Matt!) @ Sales Force. Appearance: hazy peachy with a white head. Aroma: quite nice, with light cherries, cherry stones, and pleasant rustic notes. Taste: along the same lines, dry, cherry and cherry stones. Overall: good one.

Pale pink, some haze, though not much head. Light cherry aroma, with some oak and a bit of brett. Soft fruit, a light tartness, nice oaky finish. Relatively light body. It's pretty good.

750mL bottle. Pours cloudy off-orange with white head. Aroma has rustic wild yeast, oak, red cherries. Flavour has dry rustic yeast, light cherries, dry wood. Aroma is quite promising, flavour errs too much on the dry side. Pretty good, but definitely needs a bit of work.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Hazy salmon pink-ish orange with small white head. Aroma is a florally light grain mix culture. Taste you get the cherries with light tartness, decent, but still lacks a slight bit of complexity.

750mL bottle, pours a hazy vibrant pink with a small white head. Aroma has a nice oakiness upfront, gentle rustic saison yeast, and faded cherry pith. Flavour is fairly subdued on the cherries, with light cherry pith, gentle oak tannins, some assertive spritziness, and a touch of toasted grains. Oaky, lightly cherry-ish, and pretty subtle in general. It's solid, but pretty underwhelming.

355mL can, pours a fairly clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is clean and fresh, with plenty of straw, fresh wheaty notes, and a little grass. Flavour is likewise clean and drinkable, with fresh wheat, straw and a little grass. Much better than a standard macro β no skunkiness or low-quality malts, just clean, dry, vibrant drinkability. Good for what it is.

355mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a small white head. Nose is full of washed out hops, straw and biscuity malt. Flavour has really shitty washed out hops, bready malt, and straw. Incompetent stuff.
