Duchy Originals Organic Ale

16.9 oz. bottle. Pours a nearly clear copper red with a creamy, pale yellow/white head. Light but pleasant aroma of malt. The flavor is also mild with malt, caramel and hops all present in good proportion. Light bitterness at the finish. All in all, well balanced and easy to drink - I enjoyed this one.

Very cloudy orange brown with a creamy long-lasting medium tan head. Aroma of buttery caramel. Oups, I’m in trouble. Diacetyl? Taste of buttery pop-corn and unpleasant caramel. Yep this one is ruined. The best-before is two months ago. It’s impossible that a beer can be so god awful just two months after the best-before date. Unacceptable. Dutchy Organic Ale… I guess putrefaction is organic…

Crystal clear medium copper color with smallish off white head. Aroma has bit of diacetyl, honey, pear, caramel. Flavor is malty, lots of caramel, bit of vanilla and oak. Finish is balanced, a bit on the sweet side.

(bottle) hazy brown. Malt aroma. Flavor is slightly sweetish malt, some mustiness, with only a little hops in the finish.

Pours amber with a white head. The aroma is light with malt and some hops. The flavor is mild with a slight maltiness and a light hoppish finish.

Bottle. Good malty aroma, sweet honeylike molasses notes. Amber color with white foamy head. Flavor is sweet and slightly dry on the finish, with a haylike aftertaste. Flavor disappears on the tongue on the duration. A bit watery and weak overall. Carbonation is mild. Smells better than it tastes.

Bottle at The Anchor, Wichita, KS. Pours a muddy caramel with a leafy, earthy malt aroma. Lemon sweetened tea with a malty finish. Decent mouthfeel. Not bad, but it looks like melted poo.

Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a medium copper color. Aroam is sweet with some acidity. It also has a little bit of an aroma like those orange chewy peanut candies. Some roasted malts too. Nice bitter malty character with that earthy English thing going on. Finish is a little hoppy and bitter. Not bad.
