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.

330ml bottle. Minimally cloudy, golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, off-white head. Piney, resinous, herbal hoppy aroma, biscuity, caramel malty background. Taste is bitter, piney and citrusy hoppy, resin and lemon notes, malty body contributes... well, body; flat carbo contributes to a slightly insipid impression.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, golden colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Slightly fruity, hoppy aroma, pale malty background, a minimally floral, yeasty touch; unspecific fruitiness touching melon, hints of biscuit. Taste is moderately citrusy hoppy, biscuity malty basis, a touch of melon, floral yeasty overtones; bitter and minimally tangy finish. Resemblance to German novelties like Mashsee Trainingslager or Kehrwieder Prototyp.

33cl bottle @ home. Best before Jan 2015. Slightly hazy, amber colored, thin lasting white head. Gooseberries, grapefruit, herbs in aroma. Flavor has nettles, gooseberries, grapefruit, hint of caramel perhaps. Really dry bitter finish. Quite aggressive. Gooseberries are quite strong here. Thinnish body. Thirst quenching. I prefer a cleaner fruitier profile though.
