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.

Nice amber body with good carbonation and an average off-white foamy head. Decent malty/hoppy aroma with fresh herbal/grassy notes. Fresh hoppy taste that carries malty and nutty hints. It ends with a good bitter finish. Good average ESB.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear but lightly hazy copper color with a bright white foamy head. Nose is lightly floral hops with a light spiciness as well. Palate is full and smooth with a nice bite in the finish. Flavors of light piney and spicy hops with a light malty grain note.

Nice copper color. Fruity hop aroma. Thin malt flavor, with a bit of caramel and fruit, yet decent hopping. Good enough but unexciting and too light.

Bright golden colour with a large, rocky, almond coloured head. A nice lace clings to the glass as emptied. The nose is fresh anxd vegetal with some fruit and grass mixed in there. There is a very light bitterness at the front followed by grass. It certainly is organic tasting, but there’s not much going on. One-sided and boring.

bottle from the LCBO. aroma is kinda sweet, but the hops are definetly there. flavour is bready, and again, a little sweet, but the hops really come through in the flavour. I really enjoyed this, very very easy to drink.

Bottle. Nice aroma of honey, raisin, sweet caramel malt. Flavor not as rich, esters get lost in the mouth, reduced to a caramel maltiness. Somewhat watery. No hops to be found, though I imagine that’s due to some time on the shelf. Getting slammed in the ratings recently...wasn’t unpleasant, just not particularly memorable.
