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.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cloudy gold beer. Good sized suddy off white head. Light dry palate. Sweet dried fruits with trace amounts of banana and bubblegum. Trace of citrus. Bone dry finish. An ok flavour but way too dry!

Cask-conditioned at the Three tuns, Bristol 30/6/2011. Clear amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of citrus fruit with some floral hops and slightly sweet malts. Flavour was driven by tangerines - as mentioned by earlier raters not in a hoppy way, but pure fruit juice, with a dryish finish. An oddity, but drinkable.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2011. Clear orange gold with lasting bubbly off white head. Smells of oranges. Real zest orange. Wow how have they done that? It tastes of oranges too. Definitely different. Not sure I want all my beers to taste like this. it does exactly what it says on the tin.
