Description
Beginning as a 5 barrel plant in 2005, Digfield Ales attracted attention early on with a multi award-winning outing at their very first Peterborough Beer Festival in 2006. Now a well established 15 barrel plant, the brewery has an enviable reputation for consistently produced, quality real ales, with clarity and flavour being absolute watchwords.

Cask handpull at Hobgoblin Reading. Lear amber colour thin lasting near white head. Tasty enough bitter with some pear and light yellow grapefruit and an earthy dryness on the finish. Tasty enough. Would have second one

Cask, Bridge Hotel, Thrapston, Northants. This was pulled by someone who looked like Des Kaye’s uncle of Little Britain fame. Vaguely disconcerting. As for whether I dig this digfield..... It was dark orange with a stained white head. Strongish aroma that mixed sweaty socks with some malt and fruit; also vaguely disconcerting. A dry bitter affair that was just about acceptable.

Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2007. A golden beer with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet malty with a light touch of fruit, and so is the flavor, with a slightly bitter finish.

Cask@GBBF2007. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is slight peach, some flowery hops and quite much wood. Flavour is quite the same. Slightly watery, but still wellbalanced.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 07-07-07. This beer poured a cloudy brown with white foamy head. This beer despite itโ€™s hazy appearance (it just wouldnโ€™t totally settle unfortunately) tasted great having some impressive chewy toffee characteristics and yet also having a nice fruity bite as well.

Cask@Leicester Beer Festival 2007. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is fruity and zesty and the flavour is lightly hopped and nicely dry. Overall a nice lightly hopped golden beer.
