May 2016: 500 ml clear bottle, bought in London. ABV is 4.7%. Clear deep golden colour, large white head. Aroma of toffee and malts, hints of nuts. Smooth mouthfeel. The flavour has a moderate fruitiness which makes the beer very drinkable, again notes of toffee, malts and nuts. Some very moderate hops in the finish - would like some more hops, please.

Smells a wee bit of coriander. Tastes a wee bit of coriander too, and some liquorice? Dry as a bone. Has a nice orange squash fruitiness though, reminiscent of Edelweiss. The spicy coriander gets more intense as it warms. It's certainly in the Bateman's house style. Would be nice on cask.

Undated 500ml(?) bottle served in a Belgian snifter.
Body is a nice medium orange-brown, but the head is small and rather weak.
Aroma: good aroma similar to a regular brown ale although more complexity from the grain bill comes out after some warming.
Flavor: To my surprise, I believe the multi-grain origin is quite apparent; it suggests multigrain bread, particularly in the aftertaste. Certainly has way more complexity than a typical ESB or brown ale.
Feel; Medium carbonation; near medium body seems too thin; semi-dry finish.
O: a fine ESB well worth trying.

Served in a Devil's Backbone willibecher.
I assume this kind of harvest is to plants what the Remember the Titans-style forced integration was to Southern schools back in the day. Dunno why. Anyway, this stuff pours a clear sunrise amber topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises sweet grains, sweetgrass, lemongrass, flowers, and a smattering of rye spice. The taste holds notes of generally-sweet biscuit, light rye bread, flowers, grass, and a hint of red apple skin. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a fairly smooth feel. Overall, a solid brew. I'm unsure whether all of the grains really express themselves properly, but the combination is still pretty tasty.

Darker than usual golden color with a thin head with low retention and leaving laces.
Nice fruity aroma, with apple juice and biscuit notes.
Flavorful not hoppy taste, citrusy and malty, you may even notice the use of different grains. Notes of apricot and other dry fruits. Mild hints of spicy yeast, minerals and earth. Mild dry and bitter aftertaste.
Medium body with medium carbonation.
Delicate taste with a character of its own, elegant not strong. Should be easy to pair this with food.
If you like the English way, you will have fun here.
