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."

Bottle, picked up for me at the world makret by sneezer. Very light for an ESB, this really wasn’t very good. That’s it for this one, stay away.

Bottle from Ultra, Lorenskog. Pours clear pale copper with white head. some malt aroma with strawberries, typical for target. Thin, watery taste with metallic palate. Would benefit from more alcohol and hops.

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.

Bottle. Aroma of honey, oranges, fruit , hops and malt. Clear orange in appearance with a crispy head. Fresh bitter flavour with oranges, pear and honey. Malty crisp finish. Enjoyed it, but don’t believe its organic at all.

Pours a golden-copper color. Aroma is light, slightly hoppy, and slightly skunky. Flavor is refreshingly light. Nice solid hop flavor, but not too bitter. A slight bit of caramel malty flavor. Crisp. Slightly thin on the palate.
