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.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, King’s Lynn
Hazy pale blond color, medium sized head. Strong aroma of dry corn leaves, drying grass, followed by a light earthy touch. Dry and light mouthfeel; it has a too strong impression of corn and dry grass; quite strong bitterness, with some bitter citrus peel, but not enough aromatic hop components. The extremely dry final is also a bit astringent.
With a citrusy hop this could be good and refreshing; as is it’s too simple.

Bottle, thanks to Jack at Bruce’s Housewarming Tasting. It pours deep brown, with a thin off-white head. The nose is vanilla, coffee, roasted malt, cola and a touch of balsamic vinegar. The taste is caramel, cola, roasted malt, tanginess, treacle, dark fruit and vinous notes. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty smooth. Quite thin and not really that flavoursome. Not actually that much chocolate coming through for me either!
