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.

On tap at Cold Town House, Grassmarket - murky yellow body, lasting white top. Fruity herbal sweets nose, big fruit punch in the taste, slightly bitter on the finish. Good stuff.

Can thanks to Irma. Appearance - pale yellow and clear. Fluffy white head. Nose - earthy, green plant stalk and mushy peas. Taste - dry, green plant stalk and bitter salad leaf. Palate - light bodied, intensely dry middle and finish. Overall - quite a challenging pilsner but still a pilsner by style.

Can thanks to Roddy. Appearance - orange and lava lik. Foamy white head. Nose - dank dishcloth. Creamy vanilla but the raspberry is less pronounced. Taste - sweet raspberry and vanilla, still dank. Palate - light bodied, dank and zesty, though not quite sour. Overall - pleasant enough .
