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.

Rather mediocre. Some vague and muted hop character, soggy citrus, pale bread crust, straw, a little rindy bitterness, pine needles. Drinkable but barely above enjoyable.

440ml can. Just okay, too sweet for a better score (Tromsø, 01.01.2026)

Can, 6.2%. Good refreshing and juicy hop note with a little bite to the nose. Very cloudy yellow colour. Small semi-stable white head. The flavour is nicely fruity with pineapple and vanilla notes. Hop bite in the finish along with a little alcohol. Vanilla aftertaste. A little sweet, but well-balanced. And very fruity.
