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."

Frankly, it’s disappointing to see the reception this has received. Let’s set the record straight. It’s aroma is floral, light and perfumey, with a bit of light fruit. It’s appearance is a light orange, with a full white head, no effervescence, w/ excellent lacing. The flavor is very subtle, mild tartness, complex mild floral and light malts, no hops that push the forefront, but later lingering prescence, interesting balance more hops appear toward the end. The body feel is light, well balanced, ultra velvety smooth. More hops and yeasty qualities appear later w/ that familiar bubblegum accent, from the yeast.

I had the ’alias’ name called Wychwood Scarecrow, Golden Pale Ale. I really enjoyed this one, It was a real nice golden amber color with a medium head. It smelled my fruits. It has a slightly bitter taste followed by a real sweet fruity taste (like apples). Very good, yum. I’m thinking about going out and buying some more right now. The bottle states that it’s Organic which is pretty cool. One of my personal favs right now.

Very cool bottle and label (just like the other Wychwood beers I’ve seen). Aroma is a little skunky but the flavor is wonderful. Starts out crisp and bitter but finishes smooth and sweet as the beer warms. Bright golden/yellowish color with little head retention and lacing.

*700th rating* Subtle nose of flowers and resin. Fresh and light. Pours a sparkling golden. The fluffy white head is mostly diminishing and leaves light lace. The flavor is hugely toasty with lingering dried fruit presence. The medium body is dry and soft.
