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 from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy pale orange with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma had a rather pleasant tropical fruit vibe, passion fruit, papaya, mango salsa, orange chewits, touch green, weedy, sappy, dank and floury bread. The taste is dry, decent bitterness, punchy, bitter - sweet, passion fruit, mango salsa, orange peel, um bungo, green, weedy, sappy, pine, snap of spice, floury bread and some boozey action through finish. Medium+ body and nosy, fluffy carbonation. Decent punchy tropical vibes.

Can thanks to Irma - very fresh, I'm told, just canned. Appearance - hazy golden amber, big ice-cream-like head. Nose - passionfruit, mango chutney, marmalade and caramel. Taste - it's a total fruit bomb, marmalade again, dried apricot, overripe melon, a very slight zesty finish. Palate - medium bodied, sweet and tangy, some clean on the finish, if too sweet for the style really. Overall - a little sweet for the style, but very enjoyable, all the same.

Taste - syrup, hazelnut, toffee and dark chocolate. Palate - medium bodied, a bit sickly, but a good one for the pastry stout lovers. Overall - ok.
