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 thanks to Fiona. Appearance - golden amber with a big fluffy off-white head. Nose - yep, big passionfruit and then some orange, apricot and orange peel. Taste - again big passionfruit, then citrus zest and light underlying bready note. Palate - light to medium bodied, sweet middle and tangy, sweet/dry finish. Overall - quite nice.

Can thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden with a large white head. Aromas of lemon and biscuit. Taste is more of the same. Light herbal tickle of the finish, and a bit thin.

Can thanks to the brewery. Appearance - clear golden with a big creamy white head. Nose - lemon, caramel and biscuit. Taste - caramel biscuit dominates the citrus this time. Palate - light bodied, a bit sweet in the middle and fairly dry on the finish. Overall - decent.

Tight off white head left a creamy cover on a slowly carbonating translucent amber body. Malt, caramel & toffee aroma. Medium bodied, tingly with a soft cloying back. Toffee, caramel, malt & fruity tastes with a peppery finish. Not bad
