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.

(04.23.06) One pint, 0.9 oz brown bottle from Whole Foods, Deerfield, IL. Poured clear amber with small white head. Good carbonation. Fresh fruity/malty aroma. Medium bodied ale that starts dry with light toasted malt flavor. Finished dry with light hop bitterness. Mild delicate malt flavor. Well-balanced, this is a delicious drinkable ale. Hard to believe that this very good beer was brewed by Wychwood as I tried three of their other beers and found them to be wanting.

Clear, light amber color...ample froth atop... Aroma: a creamy thing, light, yeasty, zesty, a bit of bready malt... Taste: sweetish, fruitish, a spank of hops, nicely bitter, juicy,tasty, yum...Medium bodied, sufficient malt, a touch of caramel there, very much delicious. Here’s an organic ale I can stand up and salute. Very tasty, not just noble, but well worth the drinking. If you want to go organic, here’s the perfect place. Mmmmm....

Clear amber with a thin head. Sticky English hop aroma, mild, a bit spicy with citrus hints. Buttery caramel notes also. Nice big smooth palate. Toffee and mellow, slightly woody hop flavor. Perfect balancing bitterness. Lingering hop finish. Nice ale.

Nice bitter. Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chicago a couple of weeks ago. Poured with a medium tan head that settled down to a partial thin cover and a little lace. Color is a clear nice medium honey amber. Aroma is tropical fruits at first then a little hoppy, malty, and burnt sugar. Flavor’s very similar, but more dominant burnt sugar, and hops. Good carbonation and mouth. Nice bittersweet finish. Session beer.

Bottle. Pours a translucent reddish brown with a decent off-white head, which diminishes not too quickly, but is far from long lasting. The flavour is SURPRISINGLY well balanced for an ESB. Very nice touch of hops, but aside from that the fruitiness is very prevalent, and a very nice dry finish! Very well brewed.
