Combined Harvest is a unique combination of brewing worts, or extracts from a variety of cereals. Most premium ales are brewed only using malted barley, but this multigrained beer has a unique multigrain blend of malted barley, oats, rye and wheat. Grainy tasting with a delightful floral start and finish.

Bottle from a Costcutter, drunk at home. Reddish brown, clear, quite a lot of carbonation the way so many filtered supermarket bitters do. Slight smell of berries but in all honesty it is marred by an artificial metallic/astringent aroma. Bittersweet and cardboardy. Some nice fruity undertones in the finish. Body tastes flatter than the visible carbonation would suggest. I don’t really care for this.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - orange to auburn. Irn bru like. Thin head. Nose - honey and cornflakes. Taste - honey nut cornflakes. No bitterness at all. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be cleaner. Overall - far too sweet.

Quote from the bottle "It has equal appeal to male and female drinkers. It goes well with MOST FOOD DISHES". Amazing. Pours amber, light haze, thin ring of white head. Sweet, slightly nutty aromas. Sweet taste. Sweet finish.

Clear golden beer with a thin bubbly head. Aroma is earthy with a slight touch of citrus. Flavour is light and lemony initially and the same earthiness of the aroma follows, coming from the malt and grains. There’s a slightly metallic tinge to the otherwise hoppy aftertaste. It’s not as interesting a beer as you might hope from the premise but it’s pretty decent all the same. I probably just about prefer this to the cask but I’d be interested to try the cask one again because my memory of it is quite different to this/how my rating on here describes it.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks kerenmk. Hazy golden with no head. Very oxidized and stale aroma of cardboard, honey and some rotten fruits. Sweet flavor of cardboard and honey. Medium-bodied. Really oxidized and unpleasant.
