Yuck Circus Aussie Pale
A pale ale hopped with varieties from Australia and New Zealand, made for the return of an Australian circus troupe to Edinburgh in summer 2026. Tropical, citrus and pine are the brewery's keywords, and Pilot says the beer is bursting with Antipodean hops. Barley malt alone forms the grist, so the hop aroma stands in front of a lean, pale base. 4.5%. This is the first release under this name.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Yuck Circus Aussie Pale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
