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.

Bottle: Poured a clear pale yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of trat notes with some farmhouse notes. Taste is also a mix of light tart notes with some rustic malt notes and a farmhouse feel. Body is light with good carbonation. Enjoyable tart saison with some complexity.

Can. LLBH. 4.8%. Blurb doesn’t mention brett. It is a bit funky though. Dunno. Straw colour. Soft haze. Nice white foam. Nose has super clean pale malt. Lemon. Hint of the aforementioned brett. Taste is clean and dry with a lemon rind bitterness. Hint of sweetness on the lips. Refreshing and bright with lively foamy carbonation. Clean finish with some tart funky notes. Smashed it. Great logger.
