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.

Kind of a muddy copper pour with some head. Flavor is sweet and carmelly with some grassiness. A bit of fruit, some hops, some caramel in the flavor. Ale with decent hop flavor here, pretty nice flavor.

Dark copper with a thick sticky off white foam. Toasty malt aroma, spicy, grassy hops. Taste is fruity, cherries, grapes, toffee, toasted malt.

50 cl bottle, Mulmur, ON, Canada. Slightly hazy amber, frothy head with tiny bubbles. Average aroma, caramel and citrus flavor. crisp peppery finish. Not bad, but certainly quaffable.

500ml bottle from LCBO; hardly any scent of anything pint glass. I was hoping for something hoppy but I didn’t even get a malt sweetness. The appearance is fine...clean, minor layer of foam on top. Fairly expected, I’d say, so I wasn’t floored by it. The flavour is very sweet. Caramel and vanilla are the core with some licorice notes. There is NO bitterness whatsoever. Disappointed? Not really, but I’m not crazy about this. Too bad. The palate is full. I’d like to really like this beer but it overwhelms me. Given what we can get locally, I wouldn’t buy this regularly.

Bottle. Orange-brown and opaque with a light off-white head. Very nice balance b/w the hops and malt. A hint of caramel, bread, and a subtle bitterness. Medium bodied. Not bad at all.

Bottle. Decent beer. Pours cloudy amber with minimal white head. Floral aromas with caramel maltiness. A bit too sweet for me.
