Duchy Originals Organic ale.
One of the finnest English beers I've ever tasted. Duchys Originals Is a superbly balanced extreamly well crafted beer. I was bloody hard pressed to find fault with this beauty.A colour unique. Rich amber with a ruby tint when held to the light. Quality english head, formed by a fine but fast bead, foamy yet creamy. In the mouth the silky head delivered what would be a perfect measure of malt and hops. The brew actually tasted unrefined and very natural. The malts tasted husky, while the hops gave up there canabonoids wich were grassy and herby in equal measure.
This is what the lable says:
Duchy Originals Ale has been brewed in the traditional way, useing a blend of the finest aroma hops and malts made from Plumage Archer barley harvested from selected organic farms in Britain including the Home Farm at Highgrove. This traditional ale has a ruby colour and is rich in body with a balanced bitter flavor.
When HRH The prince of wales created Duchys Originals in 1990 it was because of his belief in the clear advantages of organic farming: the production of natural and healthy foods and sound husbandry which helps to regenerate and protect the countryside and wildlife. This Duchys Originals Organic Ale is the result of such endeavours.
