Fonio A Friend
An American blonde ale brewed with fonio, an ancient grain with thousands of years of history, and Nelson hops that lay a Sauvy B aroma over a dry, light ale. The nose is slightly herbal, and at 5.0% ABV the body stays light on the palate. It comes out of Sixpoint's original Mad Scientist laboratory in a super small batch.
