Description
Dorset Brewing Company was founded in 1996, when Giles Smeath restored an 800-year-old brewing tradition to the Dorset port of Weymouth in the heart of the World Heritage Coastline (the Jurassic Coast).
Set in the beautiful, historic county of Dorset, this well-loved and respected family brewery has grown in size and stature. From its humble beginnings at the historic Devenish & Groves site in Weymouth, Dorset Brewing Company (aka DBC) relocated in 2011 to Crossways and upgraded to a state-of-the-art spring water-fed brewhouse (The Jurassic Brewhouse), capable of crafting 1.5 million pints a year.
DBC strives to produce an individual product representing the very best of Dorset, leading the way with our popular Jurassic Coast brands. The involvement and support of the family ensures the emphasis is always on quality ales and excellent personal customer care.

bottle from Darts Farm. Clear dark amber-brown colour, small beige head. Aroma of fruit and malt. Full-bodied with an intensive wheaty character. Malty-sweet with some spicy hops, yeast and wheat flavours. Strongly reminds me of a good German Weizenbock. A very nice English wheat ale.

500ml bottle from Centra Colosseum in Oslo. Shared with Finn. The foamy head is white as chalk and lasts for a while. Cloudy, orange-amber body. Smell of biscuit malts. Slightly roasted grain in flavour with caramel hints coming through. Dry bitter endnotes. Medium bodied. Nothing to get too excited about (Tromsรธ, 18.02.2009).

Bottle. A real gusher, but when it settles with a hazy, orange-golden body and a small, white head. Biscuity, malty aroma with hoppy fruityness and pinecone notes. Biscuity malts in the mouth too, with some hops giving a nice bitterness, especially in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Easy to drink and quite decent, but thereโs some strange bitterness in it that Iโm not too fond of. (081202)

Pale and slightly hazy appearance. Initial citrusy hop aroma quickly overwhelmed by a mustiness that is also present in the flavour of the beer. Dry aftertaste.

Cask-conditioned at the Berkeley JDW, Bristol 28/12/08. Deep amber with a decent off-white head that left a film of suds down the glass. Doughy malt and red berries aroma with some earthy hops. Flavour was sweetish, with some caramel, fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good stuff.
