A trio of Pomona Island starting with the clearer golden brew, Tornado Smith"s pet lioness was part of his motorcycle act. This named after beer isn't the best show in town, but it's a pleasant session ale regardless. Hoppy with mild tropical notes that are best in aftertaste, it's orderable.

Mobster Joe Gallo was shot dead on his birthday in New York's Little Italy in this month in 1972. This is a fine pine based brew, albeit watery, but the fullness of the brewing enhancers the beer. A hazy golden colour.
