Commercial Description:
Pasteurised Bottle. Sold as Scarecrow in the USA.
"Circle Master is brewed using a unique blend of Plumage Archer Barley Malt, organically grown for us in a dedicated field under the auspices of the Prince of Wales Duchy Estate in Gloucestershire. Whole leaf target hops, naturally grown in a single garden in Kent, are added to create a beer of exceptionally taste and character. A tantalising citrus aroma heralds a delightful malt flavour, rounded off with a spicy bittersweet finish."

Taste 7/8 bottle7/8. Looks: Hazy gold, thin lacing head. Aroma:Yeast sour and caramel. Taste: Sour and a little cream. Sticky. Needs a little more malt and hops, or less yeast and to be called a bitter. A little orange. Not bad. Drinkable.

Clear gold pour with a big foamy head. Aroma is mostly malt and citrus. Flavor is the same. No hint of hops. Medium carbonation and a bit watery. Standard.

Malts, bread, fruits and some hops in aroma. Malty fruitiness, little hoppy flavor. Low bitterness.

From 500 ml bottle from the back of my beer cellar consumed at 55 degrees this poured dark gold with a fat head that lasted a long time and left good lacing rings. Good start visually. Nose is malts and kind of a stale citrus hops. Mouthfeel medium Flavor is kind of bland with a hint of ripe fruit. Finish is bitter, but and odd bitter. This is drinkable, but overall a little odd tasting, and not something I would seek out again.

A little watery and bitter, some citrus flavours in there, orange, tastes a little like when you tuck into a cereal bar or something but forget to unwrap it. Didn’t hate it but didn’t knock one out over it either.
