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.

Lightly cloudy orange-amber with a thin white head.Toasted malt nose with a touch of fruit. Soft, subtle malt flavor with a tangy hop thing going on. Not bad.

Bottle: Hazy amber, dark, moderate to large fluffy sand colored head, patchy lacing.   Pale malt nose, even softer hop presense   Seems to be a very slight foral/herbal aspect.   Some biscuit, dull plant like flavors as well.   Maybe like those indoor cactus plants.   Soft malts, Marris otter maybe?   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, soft biscuit lingers.   Enjoyable.

Bottle. Dark copper colour. Very small head. Fresh aroma of malt and green apples. Maltyand bitter taste and aftertaste. Not very different from other bottled ales. Good session beer, though.

Amber colour, white head. Honeyish, fresh aroma. Spicy flavour with roasted malts. Honey? Some underlying sourness. Hoppy dry finish. Bitter. Overall good, bitter ale.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured dark amber color with an average fizzy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Light sour citrus and sweet malt aroma. Light to medium body with a dry texture. Medium sweet flavor with a medium balanced finish of moderate duration.

25 Oct 05 - Nice big hoppy light luscious fruity malt aroma with slight choc undertone aroma. Clear brown-red colour, nice head but a bit too low. Big hoppy flavour with light malt. Bitter hop and pleasant malt finish with a medium mouthfeel. Hops seem to be at every stage.

The bottle poured a clear ruby-amber colored beverage with a small creamy white head that was mostly lasting and left good lacing on the glass. The aroma held a predominance of bubble gum and rock candy with notes of grass and malt in the background. The body was medium to thin with smooth carbonation and a thin, dry texture. The flavor starts off somewhat sweet but this quickly turns to a nice bitterness which lasts throughout the long, somewhat dry finish.
