Combined Harvest

Tap to rate

Deep golden and refreshing, with a dry/sweet character and hints of citrus, balanced by subtle fruit and biscuity malts. A brewing first from Batemans: a multigrain beer built from malted barley, oats, wheat and rye. Bobek is the only hop. At 4.4% it is a September seasonal, and the harvest of four grains is what the name stands for.
