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.

Hazy orange color with a small to medium sized foamy off white colored head. Nose is caramel, alcohol, sugar, muted hops, and malt. Is is acidic with notes of grass and a bit of caramel. Decent bitter finish that is mild and somewhat floral. Not much to say.

500mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours an attractive, slightly clouded dark copper. Very little head. Mild, typical English pale ale aroma. The flavour is also rather typically English - and decent. Mild hoppiness, well balanced, low carbonation.

Bottle 0.5 l. Bought Irma Hilleroed. Colour rudy with nice white head, which disappears almost immediately. Malty aroma. Taste very bitter. Almost no carbonation - flat.

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.
