Commercial Description:
Only available bottled (not bottle conditioned).
This was the first beer brewed for the Duchy Originals organic range. The beer is brewed using a rare breed of organic barley - Plumage Archer - harvested from The Prince’s Home Farm at Highgrove.
Duchy Originals Organic Ale has opted for a traditional, British barley variety Plumage Archer to give the beer a rich depth of flavour.
The organic hops for this delicious beer are also British, First Gold, a new dwarf hop variety grown in Kent and Worcestershire. The beer is brewed to Duchy Originals' recipe.
The Duchy Originals Organic Ale is a ruby-coloured flavour-packed beer which combines the rich caramel flavours of the barley malt with the signature ripe orange nuance of the First Gold hop.

This beer pours a deep amber with a tall white head leaving lot’s of lacing down the sides. This beer is very simple, for lack of better words... Taste like an ordinary esb but not quite bitter enough. I thought this would have a better flavor to it, but it is not a very good ale. Mind you it is better than the bmc’s but not by much! Cheers!

Pour is clear copper color with a fast fading but tight bubbled tan head...smell is loaded with lots of bready caramel malts and faint notes of grass as well...taste is bready and grassy...somewhat metallic toward the finish...

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.
