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.

50cl bottle at home. cloudy orange, small offwhite head. aroma is dominatd by bitterhops , caramel and toffee. faint smoke or burned plastic. not very appetizing. flavor is caramelly, herbal, bitterhoppy, faint sawdust. much better than aroma, a little too bittersweet for my taste though.

1 pt. bottle. Pours a hazy amber/orange with a small, creamy, white head. The head is pretty quick to fade. Honey, heather, a touch of yeast, and a bit of citrus in the nose. Medium low carbonation with a dry mouthfeel and a light body. Honey notes, malt, and a solid bitterness on the palate. It is okay, but nothing spectacular.

Reviewed 04/02/2009 (Bottle): Pours a cloudy orange red body, dark. Foamy whitish colored head, diminishing. Sweet fruit aroma. Very dusty musty English smelling aroma. Watery, not carbonated honey taste. Sweet tasting but not sickly palate, or taste. Very English tasting.

Pours a deep amber with almost no head. Aroma of plums and English hops. Taste is the same with sweet malt and understated bitterness. While not one of my favorite ESBs, it’s a pleasant session beer nonetheless.

A small redeaming feature is the crisp pureness to the taste....but that crisp pureness holds very little body and character, with zero aftertaste and absolutely nothing on the nose. I tried hard to pick out the barley in this one and I’m sure it did add to the pureness...but it certainly didn’t play the tasteful role I expected. Unfortunate here as I love organics...
