Bateman's Combined Harvest
This beer is disappointing. It pours a dull golden slightly amber color, very clear, not much of a head, a touch of lace. The nose is English Pale Ale, a touch of toffee, some orange notes in there at least after the initial pour. The beer has an over processed quality to it. There is a sweet adjunct flavor to the beer, some tart apples, maybe a slighlty metallic flavor, some bitter lemon type hop notes. There is some slight butterscotch maltiness, some bready qualities that thin out as the beer settles, but the sweetness and over processed feel to the beer is a downer. The lemon tartness lingers into the finish and sits on the tongue too long. This beer is okay, adequate maybe, but nothing I will return to.
