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 keg at Cold Town. Appearance - golden with a light haze. Decent head. Nose - again light metallic and saltiness from the base beer. Some zest has been added by the fruit but it's not as much as I'd expected. Taste - orange and grapefruit just about covers up metallic note this time. Palate - light bodied and dry through middle and finish. Overall - ok.
