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.

500 mL. Cloudy, dark iced tea color with a large, lasting head. Aroma is spiced brown sugar. Flavor is an excellent balance of the same malty caramel-brown sugar and dryish yeast and the right dose of bitter herb hops. Palate is smooth, medium bodied and slightly dry, with a watery finish. Underrated.

Medium caramel profile. Light floral hopping in the traditional English style. Somewhat bland and timidly bittered. A tad watery as well. Not bad, but I wished for a braver hand at the hops scoop.

Pour is a cloudy brown with a small white head. Aroma is a touch of malts with a nice hop quality to it. Flavor is even better. Very bready malts with a nice mix of hops used. Finshes with just enough bitterness to make this one above par. Worth looking for.

500 ml bottle. Clear,dark amber body with a medium but dense off-white head. Aroma is light malty, slightly burnt caramel and floor sealing. Flavor is sweet malty and caramel with a discreet bitterness. Medium body, quite smooth but rather boring.

Bright copper colour with cream head and light carbonation. Little aroma, but a hint of hops. Taste starts sweet, but ends with a strong bitter zing.

Bright amber color, with a creamy beige head, nice toasty nose, with caramelized malt, toffeeish accent, grainy, nutty, with a subtle floral hops and a hint of dark dried fruits in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a crisp roasted malt, caramel malt, nutty accent, hint of graininess, toffeeish note, earthy floral hops, leading towards a malty, lingering dry hoppy finish.

Pours bright amber into an English pint. Head quickly subsides with no lacing to skim surface. Caramel aromas. Sweet cookie dough from front to back with a lasting bitter hop finish.
