Greene King Abbot Ale - classicly Abbott and aley.





329.  Star of Kings, York Way.








Beers - 

Hammerton Kiwi Vs - hazy, properly tastes of Kiwi, like a sour, not that bad actually, tart.

Five Points Best - hell of a head, brownish colour, mild, not that interesting, could be a bit stale, cobwebby. 




328. The Thornhill Arms, Caledonian Road.







Beers - 

Beavertown Lazer Crush Alcohol Free IPA - light, agreeable, missing something.... A nice soft drink but not a true beer.

Cruzcampo - hoppy, alright as a lager. 




327. The Chapel Market Tavern, Penton Street.










Beers:

Woodshedding Twigz English Ale - brown like a chestnut, belongs in a thatched roof country pub, woody, natural, could be drunk while building a damm on the river, nutty, earthy, splendid. 


Siren Soundwave IPA - hazy, doesn't taste much like Megatron's deputy, more up front fizz, gassy, sharp, like straw, nice.





326. The Alma, Chapel Market.








Beers - 

Verdant Brewing Co. Light Bulb-  hazy, bit of a froth on, quite sweet, settles with a tang around the tongue.


Vocation Brewery Crush Hour - hazy, deeper flavours, longer lasting mouthfeel, bitter but very drinkable





325. The Peacock, Islington High St.









Beers: 

Siren Lumina Session IPA - so very hazy, crackle of fizz at the beginning , pleasant mouth feel, citrus, lemony, fresh, enjoyable on a fine summer s day or a damp February afternoon.

Two Tribes Campfire Hazy IPA - so very hazy again, fairly flat, touch of bitterness, bit sweeter, peachy, light and sessionable.
