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.

The was $4.45 for the bottle at the Northcoast Coop in Arcata, CA.. IT poured a hazy amber to brown color with not much head and lacing. Aroma of malts and ripe fruti. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor shows some hops with a little bitterness, which also shows in the finish. This is quite drinkable but not in the least remarkable.

Nothing wrong with this beer at all, other than it lacked any real interesting character in aroma or flavor. Just kind of a bland ale, but refreshing. Aroma is light iced tea, a bit of sweetness and some wet paper. Appearance was a very nice clear amber body with a nice 2" off-white head. Head left behind some decent lacing clings. Flavor had a bit of earthyness to it, light caramel and light spice notes. Went down very easy. Very nice mouthfeel.

LCBO bottle purchase- Pours deep amber, topped with a frothy beige cap. The aroma is of fresh hops, green fresh cut grass, bubblegum, maybe some bread, biscuit. The flavours are very fresh and dripping with hops. Nice sweet caramel, bready/doughy, thrills gum, a touch of leafy greens. FInishes puckering, bitter, good.

Bottled. Amber coloured, small head. Nice hoppy character, pleasantly bitter. Not overly complex, but worth a try.

(on bottle)Rusty orange, steady, white head. Fresh hoppy aroma, creamy mouth feel; quite big actually. Round flavours of the malts, hints of chestnuts and wet wood. The finish was mild at first, then turned dry and bitter - in a hazel/hop kind of way.

Pours dark reddish amber with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma is light bready and malty, toffee, and caramel. Taste has mild grassy hoppiness with light caramel, tofeee, and an ending note of herbal bitterness. Mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with light lively carbonation.

Bottle. Pours an orange/brown, just a small ring of white head. Aroma of honey, pear, raisin, and apple juice. Flavor of wheat, lots of apple, tartness. Sweet, light body, very simple and mellow. This beer is subtle, not in your face with flavor, which is why I liked it a lot. Tasty and light. Delicious.
