Description
Brewing high-quality beer, without excessive alcohol content, is what it’s 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.

Can: Poured a yellow color ale with a pure white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some floral hops undertone and light corn notes are also perceptible. Taste is a mix of citrusy hops notes with light corn notes and some floral hops notes with a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but not necessarily a big fan of the corn malt. .

(On tap @ Bar Volo, Toronto, June 26/23) Pours clear bright gold with a thin white head and no lace. Notes of lemon peel and pith, barnyard apples, delicate flowers, very soft sweetness (pear/stone fruit), gentle cereals, light to moderate funk (cellar/aged hops), some oak, a little bit of phenol, mostly on the peppery side, dry on the finish with just a little tartness. Light to medium body, moderate effervescence. This is definitely a delicate beer but it's well-balanced and honestly pretty well-made if you afford it reasonable expectations (it's definitely not lambic).
