Ridiculously large white foamy head stayed on a hazy dull golden coloured body.
Orange & yeast aroma.
Medium bodied, overly carbonated with a dry back.
Medicinal, yeasty, earthy & bitter hop tastes.
Summit not right here.

44cl can from Majestic Wine, Bearsden. A slightly hazy straw coloured pour with a loose white head; lemon soda aroma; sharp lemony taste with a malty base and a spicy resinous aftertaste. A solid IPA.

44cl can from Majestic Wines, Bearsden. A cloudy amber pour with a billowing white head; orangey aroma; soft in the mouth with a taste of clementines and tangerines with some chewy malts; and a light bitterness to finish. Very drinkable.

The Cold Town bar is in such a good location it's a shame the venue has no natural light coming into the building or views from the ground floor, but the beer can still be enjoyed. This strongish hoppy flavoursome IPA doesn't need much improvement, but maybe the aforementioned might make that happen.

Two days in Edinburgh and I've missed hearing the 1pm gun fired from the castle on both occasions. Another chance tomorrow. There's no chance of hearing it in the Cold Town bar with 80's classics being churned out whilst sipping this hazy dryish mildly fruity, good bodied IPA.

Third of four beers on a palate taster tray tried at Cold Town below the castle in Edinburgh, tropical fruity full-bodied effort, very mildly sticky-sweet.
