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.

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.

Pours a clear amber with a white head. Smells of hops and caramel. Medium sour and strongish hops notes. Caramel flavors that kicks in a bit later. Medium bodied but still kinda watery. Dry finish with some caramel and hops notes.

Bottle at Beer on the Pier, Chicago. Buttery esters, clearly English aroma that is not quite typical of an ESB. Clear amber with a thin, slightly off-white head. Dry, thin flaovr with some malt. Nondescript brew, but I’ll bet the English love it.

Bottle: Hazy, reddish amber pour with a medium beige head. Nose of bitters and malt. Flavor is earthy with malts and roastiness, nice bitters presence. A little caramel and toffee. Nice representation of the style.
