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 Appellation Wines. Appearance - definitely a raspberry puree colour, some fizz and a quickly disappearing head. Nose - big raspberry some sweet coconut. Taste - more of the same with the raspberry dominated a bit more by the coconut this time. Palate - light to medium bodied, zesty and lightly sour middle on the middle and finish. Overall - again, I don't like it when I like beers with adjuncts but this is a good example.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky, fizzy yellow with no head to speak of. Like a soft drink! Nose - pink grapefruit and blood orange. Slight funk. Taste - more fresh grapefruit and again blood orange. Some grape maybe. Palate - light bodied, zesty and refreshing finish. Overall - nice, I don't like it when I like beers with adjuncts mind.
