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 Aldi, Inverurie. It pours crystal clear lager yellow with a thick, handsome white head. The aroma is green, least, grassy, some green veg, runner beans, rich tea biscuit, sponge cake and metallic twang. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, touch of bitterness, grassy, leafy, green veg, green beans, cabbage , metallic vibes, grain and some nuttiness with a drying finish. Average body and moderate+ foamy carbonation. A classic style lager bier. Served cold it crushes pretty well. Green veg character because more obvious as it warns up. Ok.
