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.

Cask at The Greyhound (JDW), Maidenhead. Pale straw with a tight cream head; fruity aroma; sweet and fruity flavour - greengage perhaps, and lightly bitter; with a sweet, but clean, finish. Far better than I expected.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear yellow with a faint, white cream head. Pale malt nose, some dough and hay - so typical. Light sweet flavor with some creamy malts, white bread, dry white grapes, berries. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with pale malts, low bitterness, bread, mild hay. Not bad, but so very, very typical.

The commercial description on this one was a blast, but can’t be bothered to quote from it. Ogi’s. Poured a nicely full golden body with a small white head. Apricot juice/fruitcake aroma, grainy. The taste is light apricot struggling in a crappy yeastiness. Perfumey and I love the fruity touch, but it’s so spoiled by the yeastiness that I can’t take a liking to it. Ok but not ok.

May 2007: At last I have found it on draught somewhere, it was a guest ale at the excellent ’Eagle’ in Boston (the real Boston, in Lincolnshire). I thought it darker than the bottle variety, but the pub is not well lit, so that may account for that. The flavours and aroma were stronger than the bottle, I enjoyed it so much, I had three pints, the guy behind the bar knew how to pour it too. A very good beer from one of my favourite breweries.

Oct 2006: Very drinkable bottle of English Pale Ale. Pale bronze in colour, with a a tight almost white head, it looke the part. The blend of barley, wheat, oats and rye give it a sweet aroma, with hops just about winning the battle for top dog in the smelling stakes. Hops and fruit flavours fill your mouth, again a sweet taste, like the aroma, although, matliness also forces its way into the reckoning when mouthfeel and overall flavour is searched for. This will not be everyones idea of a classic English Pale Ale, far to sweet for most, but as a beer for drinking with friends, it is ideal. I like it very much.

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a medium-sized tanned foamy head. Present notes of caramel in the nose with subtle fruity notes. Sweet-bitter flavour, rather light bodied with a prickly carbonation. Mildly bready cara-malty taste with notes of popcorn; moderately dry, quite slim and mildly bitter hoppy finish with slightly sourish wheaty notes. Likeable, but not overly impressive. 08.IV.12

500ml bottle. Clear copper colour with small macropore white head. Unspecific grainy aroma. Not really delightful monotonous grainy taste, dry, sourish, weird.
