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.

Thick sweet caramel aroma with floral and earthy hops apparent. Brilliantly clear copper coloured body is topped by a low but lasting large bubbled off white head. Butterscotch and caramel blend well in the flavour with mild offsetting bitterness to prevent it from becoming cloying. Mildly astringent medium light body with somewhat watery texture and fair to low carbonation. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle (BB 13-May-09, Brewery Crek, Aug-08).

Amber colour with a rapidly disappearing head . Aroma of flowery hops with a hint of honey . Lacing on glass. Sweet taste, bitter aftertaste. Would be better if there hadn’t of been so much carbonation.

Purchased at the Spinnakers Spirit Merchant in Vic West. Pours a headless light copper body. Nose of caramel malt and golding hops. Very mild flavour, the hops kick it up a bit but all in all its fairly plain like most of the organic beers I’ve encountered. Somewhat thin texture with a tart hop finish. Average

Deep orangeish red pour with a nice bubbly head Scent of hops and malts, the malts are sweet smelling almost like honey. Very full bodied. Definately malty with a bitter hopped finish. A little too bitter for me. Hat that bite the back of your throat taste I am not fond of.

500ml bottle (Sainsbury’s)
Rich orange. Soft sweet aroma. Reasonable carbonation. Some early fruity hops, solid malty body, and late biting hoppiness. Well balanced, overall solid bitter. Oozes quality.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a light head. Nice barley sweetness and malty but somehow you can tell its organic. A little bit of citrus orange, some light hoppiness.
