Crop Circle

Hop Back Brewery - Crop Circle 


Crop Circle, brewed at the Wyndham Arms in Wiltshire. The brewery and chain of pubs has been going since 1986. Since then it has grown to win great recognition for its beers and ales around the UK. 

The beer has a lovely head to and a pleasant aroma. The taste matches the smell , their is a refreshing fruitiness in this beer along with a bitter after taste. Not so bitter that it dominates and not so fruity that it could turn sickly. 

This is a lovely example of not only a gluten free beer but in general a golden ale, refreshing with bitter after tones and a taste that's pleasing after many a sip. 

Below is a link to their site which shows all the shops/bars that stock Crop Circle.

The Gluten Free Beer Blog

Hello there and welcome to my humble blog where I try and help fellow celiac's and people wishing for a little less gluten in there lives to find a damn nice beer to drink.


 The general idea behind this blog is to share my opinion of what i think is either a good value or just a good tasting gluten free beer. While I am by no means an expert in the field of beer i have tasted many of the common and less common beers out there and i believe i can give a reasonable assumption of something that at least looks and tastes like beer. This may sound a bit preachy and readers may find them selves thinking, "well how bad could gluten free beer be". Well to put it simply, .......bad.


I must stress though that my short little reviews are just my opinion, everyone has different tastes and likes different types of beer. My main hope is to enlighten some people to the wide variety of choice that is out there for those either stuck with or interested in a gluten free diet.
