Description
Hammerton Brewery is a microbrewery based in Islington brewing small batch beers with the aim to bring great tasting beer back to the borough and also re-establish the Hammerton Brewery name in London.

Hammerton Brewery originally began brewing in London in 1868. Sadly it ceased to brew in the late 1950s and was later demolished. In 2014, a member of the Hammerton family decided to resurrect the family name in brewing. It also brings brewing back to Islington, a London borough with a great beer making heritage.

Clear copper gold. Foamy white head. Aroma had low key but tart bitterness with a juicy swet fruit edge. Flavourwise it's got a sour edged bitterness. Peripheral sweetness then briefly gusts thought before vanishing. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Wants to be punchy but stumbles at the finishing line.

Pleasant pale ale, pint at the Euston Tap at £4.80 was very reasonable for London.
