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.

Keg at Waterloo Tap - clear golden. Thick foamy white head. Aroma combines doughy malts and light citrus and stone fruit. Flavourwise it has a dry bitterness. Light-mediu gooseberry . Low-key malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Slightly chalky. Very dry lll, long and slightly astringent finish. Overly polite and ultimately bland as a result.

Ootasin, et ei ole pastry.. maitseb nagupastry. Magus, vaadine, pähklivõine, vaniljene, suhkrune, alkone (arvestades väidetavat abv-d, lausa mega alkone). See maitseb nagu teeb purju.. ok, aga ootasin midagi muud.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty and chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter light sweet, with a smooth, roasty, light chocolate, dry oaky, light warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not as rich or indeed as boozy as I’d hoped for, but a great beer all the same.

Сорян но пить невозможно. Супер химозное послеквкусие ореховое. Но запах при этом был ничего так.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester . Mid- to dark brown, alittle translucent with an uneven little khaki head. Lots of dark chocolate in the aroma with a little touch of chilli. The taste is sweet and spicy, overrun with chilli just the right amount of heat. It is lovely but dominates the profile completely. Medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. It's lacking complexity but a chilli head like me doesn't mind all that much. Worth a try for sure.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Yellow orange, hazy with a small film of white head. Aroma... mmmm this is different. Spicy, almost smoky, with grapefruit hop notes shining through. Taste is similar. Some smoke, an almost meaty character, sweet then fading with a light hoppy bitterness. Light body heavily carbonated. Very different to the average pale. Worth seeking out.
