Description
First brewed in Summer 2008. Beers under the badge "Chideock Brewery", but coming from the same source were seen in May 2012. Brewery location North End Farm, Venn Lane, North Chideok. By 2014 the brewery had ceased brewing on its own equipment while seeking new premises. In the meantime it is believed that some beers are being brewed on an occasional basis at Sherfield Village brewery. In 2016 brewing recommenced at a new location in Devon. Brewing ceased again during 2020 with production moving back to Sherfield Village.

Nose is sprucey wood, herbal qualities, bitter orange, light spice, hay, pineapple chunks, melon. Taste comprises orange pith, light caramel, straw, bitter orange, spice, wood shavings. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finale with light bitterness. Decent enough for style.

LIVE RATING: Bottle at home on 26th December 2013 - Christmas gift. Pours hazy gold with spot-lacing off-white foam. Fine grapefruit aroma with delicate spices. Deliciously grassy, fruity liquid with notes of lemon zest and spices. Hoppy finish with grassiness and savoury touch. Zingy mouthfeel and fair amount of body. Exquisite. Delicious, well-crafted ale. I recommend pairing with brie and biscuits. Really worked well together.

Bottle at the Night of Garbage, thanks to Leighton, 20/12/13 up a shit load of stairs ! Hazed orange amber with a good sized off white head - this don’t look like no mild to these here mince pies !!! Nose is bitter orange, spice, apricot jam, straw. Taste follows, earthy dank tones, orange pith, soured fruit, light funky brettness (inentional I doubt). Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry grassy bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff but SURELY a golden blonde !?!?!?!

Bottle at the Night of Garbage, thanks to Leighton. It pours cloudy amber with a gigantic beige head. The nose is pine, varnish, brett, orange peel, grapefruit, caramel and a touch of spice. The taste is earthy, pine, varnish, watery, citrus peel, metal and a good hit of bitterness with a dry finish. Light body and high carbonation. Nice brett thing going down on then nose, but ultimately this beer is a bit too watery for my liking. Alright.
