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.

Pale, slight haze. Has a nice bretty component to the nose, some bright fruity hops. On the palate, dry, nice bretty note, slight tartness, and then there's a bit of bright stone fruits. Beautiful character and balance. Very drinkable. High quality.

Draft: Poured a gold color ale with a medium size white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of tart and sour notes with some funky ester and vinous notes with light oak. Taste is also a mix of tart dominant notes with some very funky ester with some vinous notes and light oak notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable and good mix of wine barrel notes.

Taste is also a mix of tart dominant notes with some very funky ester with a light watery finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable but not as complex as I was hoping and the finale is a bit bland.
