Cold Town Beer Porn Star Martini Ale Beer Review

Welcome to the Drink in the Sights Cold Town Beer Porn Star Martini Ale Beer Review. It's LIDL beer festival time and having recently visited the Cold Town Brewery Tap on my tour Edinburgh bars I wasn't going to miss the chance to try one of their stranger concoctions, a Porn Star Martini Ale. I have to start by saying I don't remember ever having a Porn Star Martini, I mean why would I when there's so many great beers to try?  But I gather they're very fruity, and very sweet, so I guess that's what I'm expecting here. The beer comes in the usual Cold Town Beer bright 330ml can and contains 4.6% alcohol, which I imagine is less than the cocktail version, but that's probably for the best.

Cold Town Beer Porn Star Martini Ale has a seriously strong passion fruit, peachy aroma which will hit you as soon as you open the can even if you stand quite a distance away. The beer pours like a very clear lager like colour with a small white head. If I'm honest I'm a little surprised by how much I enjoyed Cold Town Beer Porn Star Martini Ale, mainly because I thought it might be a complete disaster, I mean a Porn Star Martini Ale, really? But Cold Town Beer seem to have pulled it off. You'll get a thin lager like texture, but the taste is quite powerful with oodles of passion fruit and just a hint of vanilla giving a really sweet taste. Some people may say it's too sweet, but really it's difficult to complain about that given the beers name so if you're one of those people stop whining. Cold Town Beer Porn Star Martini Ale is far from my favourite style of beer, but it does what it says on the can and you have to respect it for that. 8/10.
