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.

A deep amber beer with a fine golden head. The aroma is lovely hoppy with notes of grass. The flavor is caramel-malty with notes of fruit, flowers, and hops. A nice beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark amber, very hazy with almost no head. Nutty, lightly sweetish aroma. Rather dry with notes of nuts and caramel - weak yeasty flavour. A quite exciting brew. 030905

Bottled. Pale amber, small head. Aroma of caramel, apple and some hay. Raw and unrefined, typical Wychwood style malt character. Forgettable.

50 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a lacing off-white head. Light sweet caramel malt and minor fruity note in the aroma. Flavour holds a light spiced and liqourice like hops note. Light fruity hops flavour following. Goes into a dry bitter finish.
