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.

1/3 pint sampler tray @ Hammertown taproom.
Brune foncée, col moka crémeux bien tenace.
Arôme sur un caractère caramel fudge/malté, cake avec une petite note de baies rouges - penut butter, et chocolaté délicat en support.
Palais sur une grosse base maltée le tout restant assez léger en bouche avec à peine 5% - peanut butter avec léger côté grillé en support - douceur moyenne allant vers le lactose. Amertume bien anglaise noble qui fait que le tout ne termine pas sur un effet trop adouci par le lactose.

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.
