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.

Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6.5 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Given a taster by the barman at Cold Town in Edinburgh so see the nitro difference from the regular XPA I was having at the time. It's much softer, crisper, and its fruitiness heads towards pine in taste. Lesser stated in this respect

Large foamy off white head on a turbid caramel coloured body.
Malt, soapy & butterscotch aroma.
Medium to full, heavy on the tongue with a sticky back.
Malt, bready, boiled sweets & woody tastes with bitter lightly hopped finish.
Unusual - Nice.
