Slightly fruity and gassy. Hoppy finish.

Not too strong on the nose, this is a medium-bodied golden ale.

Brew Dog's "Punk IPA"

The brewery's signature ale is piney and not too complex. Eminently drinkable.

William Blake, EC1V

Large Old Street pub named after my favourite poet/painter though I'm not sure what the connection is. Sports on several screens and three unoriginal ales.

Functional Old Street Wetherspoons with their usual excellent range of ales.

London Fields Brewery's "Hackney Hopster"

Very hoppy ale from London.

Between King's Cross and Russell Square, this decent boozer has a few pumps and outside seating including some covered.

Interesting
