Pomona is the first IPA we created in celebration of the New England style IPA. Hazy and full of bright flavors! We pick-up a varied mix of citrus, grapefruit, and even tangerine across the palate.

Picked up a single can at Cedarville Wine and Spirits in Plymouth, Massachusetts for about four dollars. My second brew from these guys. No canned on date. Very good.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a decent head that fades quickly. I'm not good at describing aromas, but it smells good - hoppy. Taste is dominated by hops - I don't really describe it as juicy, although there are some juicy overtones. The hops dominate the taste and there's just enough malt to keep it well balanced. A really good IPA and worthy of a try - I would definitely buy this one again.

Cloudy, apricot juice color and appearance. Moderate bar poured head which settles to rim bubbles. Some minor streaks and spots for lace.

Freshly cut grass and a bit weedy. Some stone fruit to the nose. Well blended aroma.

Neutral pale malt start but the swallow becomes very dry, enhanced by the vegetal bitterness from the hops. Leans thin body wise but the carbonation is also lower. The finish is more hoppy than malty, naturally. Moderate to long aftertaste.

Awesome local juice bomb right here. Sporting a gorgeous light yellow haziness with a nice pillow like head. Super floral aromas with some citrus notes. Taste wise you get smoked with a tangerine to the jaw. An awesome explosion of juicy citrus goodness. Low carbonation and smooth creaminess. The epitome of the New England style OJ milkshake.

Excellent IPA from Vanished Valley. Light golden color with a 4F head in a Spielgelau IPA glass.
Aroma: very floral, fruit, tangerine.
Smooth MF.
Aroma transitions well to taste with more emphasis on fruit flavors.
Not too hoppy. Well balanced. Highly recommended.
