Description
We are Pomona Island. We have a passion for innovation and style. We wake up each morning and strive each day to create te finest beers on the... Nah, can you imagine if we actually spoke like that? We're just beer snobs and over-appreciators who thought we would put our (small amount of) money where our (big) mouths are.
The Brewery is Nick and Ryan, who started the Gas Lamp bar in Manchester CIty Centre (where you can always find our beers!), Gaz from Marble Brewery and James from Tempest Brewery.
The beer is all stuff we like to drink. Loads of sessionable new world hoppy pales, more traditional stouts and porters. Big Juicy IPAs, and some fun experimental stuff to keep us and you interested.

Can. Nose is coconut, chocolate, bounty bars, sweet. Taste is bounty bars, lots of dedicated coconut, chocolate, a slight bitter dry note, but ultimately too sweet

A man once parked outside my house too close to another car on a hill and got stuck as his reverse gear broke. That was quite odd. This beer isn't, it's an attractive golden coloured brew with light but tasty pine, excellent in aroma too brew, but the softness of its texture given the aforementioned is also a plus. There's a hint of sweetness here too.

I have experienced a hammock before, but never to sleep in. This steady west coast experience is a little too gassy in carbonation in this instance, otherwise it's a superb crisp texture brew. Hoppy-sweetish in aroma and taste, with sugars exemplifying this, it's enjoyable, but overbearing if trying to make it sessionable. Tropical fruit, but mainly pine provides the flavour.

A West Coast Pale Trio at Pomona Island's flagship bar, so best go left to right for remembering purposes. This is the cask one with a dirtyish pine aroma and taste, although fine to drink, with a smoothish texture.

Panda from Colin. Cheers. Hazy golden brown. Thin frothy translucent white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a sour citrus and herbal edge. It's has a bitter streak - herbs, gooseberry, vinous - over a a sweet fruity and porridge base. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft but prickly carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice. Has character.
