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.

On gravity at Swindon BF 30/10/08. Golden coloured with a slight white head. Aroma of sweet malts, hay and grassy hops. Flavour was sweetish, with some floral hopping and a decent dry finish. Good.

[i] [b] Cask at the Hope Pole Aylesbury, Easter Beer Festival 21-03-08 [/i] [/b] Pours dark amber with not much head, but looks a bit murky and hazy. Aroma is a little toffee as is the taste. There is actually plenty of flavour here but its a bit uncouth at times. The citrus zips about a bit and its fair to say it a better drinker than a looker.
