Description
NOTE:-
The brewery originally traded as 'Dorset Piddle' then dropped the 'Dorset' in 2014.
Beers produced since 2017 do not carry 'Dorset' in the name, with one exception, the Rogue but this follows Piddle instead of preceding it.
As such beers in the Brewver database carry the name 'Dorset Piddle - ' on the beers that went out of production after the 2014 rebranding.
This wasn't the cleanest or quickest transition and there were still beers being produced in 2015/16 with Dorset on the label.
With a name like Piddle, you’d think we don’t take anything seriously. Dictionary definitions of piddle vary. Some list it only as a verb; a synonym for wasting time, as in ‘piddling about’. British dictionaries also list it as a noun, as in “I need a piddle”. It’s lucky that we don’t take anything too seriously.
But, we do – just one thing – and that’s the beer that we make and love. Our passion is blending hops, barley and malts in to create ales that bring serious pleasure, from delicate thirst-quenchers to thick, velvety stouts. A mix made in heaven – or in as in our case Piddlehinton in deepest Dorset.

Bottle drank on hols in St Ives. Big ol’ 1 litre swing top that does not pop when opened. Hazy orange - amber beer with a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is light and smooth with modest fine carbonation. Nice fruity hops, fresh orange and a little tangerine. Whisper of hop spice. Light dry finish. Very good hop fruits but it needed a better, crisper palate to deliver the flavour.

Bright clear gold beer with a bubbly white head. Palate is mildly crisp and semi dry. Light clean pale malt, dry. Touch of malt cream. Light floral flavours and a whisper of orange citrus. Finishes semi dry. Clean tasting but not so much cocky hop as absent hop!

500 ml bottle. Slightly unclear golden body with a medium sized off-white head that disappears immediately. Nice refreshing fruity aroma of peaches, oranges and pale caramel malt. Flavor has sweet, soft pale malt, fruity, some red berries, hint of caramel and some bitterness. Medium body and decent aftertaste. A rather smooth and refreshing ale, with a decent flavor for its style. A lot better than expected.

Cask@GBBF 2011. Golden colour, with a small white head. Aroma is clean maltiness along with some floral, fruity and a bit wooden notes. Flavour is bready malts, some fruity and floral hoppy notes along with mild wooden and resiny notes in the finish. Surprisingly high abv, although it feels much easier when you drink it.

500ml of ’Piddle in a bottle’ as it is called in bottle form. Poured into a UK pint sleeve on 5 Apr 2013. Clear, light amber body with a thin off-white covering that turned into a wisp and collar fair to swiftly. Malty and semi-sweet in the nose and taste: caramel ruling those malt flavours, some hop bitterness arrives midway through each sip with a mild citrus finish. Mid body depth, would have liked a bit more richness, but the 4.1% ABV is fine for beer I suppose.
