40 Beers to Celebrate 40 Years! Day Five


Beer: Duchy Originals Organic Ale
Region: Great Britain
Type: Ale
Rating: Intermediate

The first time I had this beer was out in Vancouver while working at the Olympics. The bus stop I took daily coincidentally stopped in front of a B.C. Liquor Store, and that's where I first stumbled upon this fantastic ale.

So it's Earth Day, and this beer is organic. I guess I've done my part :)

Pour it into a nice tall glass, and you'll first notice the incredible amber/bronze colour. Bring it towards you and take a deep breath - a warm aroma of caramel and peat, subtle and disarming.

The taste is refreshing, with a slight hop bitterness, and a light lingering finish.

So go ahead and grab yourself this fine English Ale, and feel free to pass this Duchy by the left AND right hand side ;)
