Description
Scotland has a deeply fascinating history when it comes to brewing and we wanted to pay homage to these roots when creating our name. Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh was the first brewery in Britain to create lager way back in 1835. The small suburb that the brewery called it’s home earned the name Cauld Toon as it sat directly in the in the cold shadow of Arthur’s Seat. Over time, this colloquially became Cal-ton. Carlton Hill could therefore be known as Cold Town Hill, and suddenly our name was born.

Can Aldi, Ellon. It pours golden - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, bright, tropical fruits, peachy, mango, orange marmalade white bread sandwiches, orange creamsicle and a touch of green pine. The taste is firmly dry, touch of bitterness which lingers, green, pine, dry wood, orange squash, mango, peach, biscuit, white bread sponge cake and just a nip of bitterness with a drying piney finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Decent bang for your buck.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth and semi dry palate, modest fine carbonation. Slightly stodgy malts, sweet but a little dry, whisper of cereal. Hops bring soft pine into notably ripe tropical fruits and fairly sweet candy fruits. Light and semi dry finish. Not an awful dipa but it's up against many breweries that are producing very good dipas by the truck load and thus, by definition, it's well behind the curve.
