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.

Bottle. Hazy light orange body with a small white head. The aroma is moderately chalky, minerals, somewhat fruity (oranges), and with some dirty bread notes. Dark, bready flavour that is fairly straightforward. Clean finish.

Now laballed "Organic English Ale" or at least I figure this is the same beer. Its definitely an ESB. And a fairly nice bottled example at that. Nose is straiight up caramel with a flutter of orange blossom and grassy hops. Well balanced flavor, with earthy caramel malts, grassy, dusty, almost cobwebby hops. Medium bitter finish is perfectly integrated, just the right bittering levels. Just an easy drinking ale with character.

Orange-amber in colour, lingering but dissipating white coloured head, some lacing. The aroma is lightly sweet, wheaty, some fruit, floral hops, apples and light caramel. The flavour is agian wheaty, moderatly sweet, some caramel malts, light chocolate, bready. Moderatly bitter mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering bitterness. Not bad, Hobgoblin?

500ml bottle from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario for $3.60.
Purchased on April 18, 2007 and opened on April 19, 2007.
Best before January 21, 2008.

Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a medium copper color. Aroam is sweet with some acidity. It also has a little bit of an aroma like those orange chewy peanut candies. Some roasted malts too. Nice bitter malty character with that earthy English thing going on. Finish is a little hoppy and bitter. Not bad.

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.
