Wentworth Rampant Gryphon

Wentworth Rampant Gryphon (6.2% abv) is a beast of a pale ale. I had mine in the form of Real Ale in a Bottle (RAIB) which was sourced from the Real Ale shop. Now as I said, this is a beast of a beer, its sweet, it has caramel flavours, its bitter its fruity it has just about every taste imaginable in a beer, but it does so and still remains pleasant.This beer is very home brew like, and has some of the esters that you get when you ferment too warm - but in a beer with so much going on you tend to just roll them up with everything else. I enjoyed this beer, but its the sort of pint that you can only have one or two off, its too complicated. It was also cloudy, and murky - probably the cloudiest commercial beer I have come across (including Coopers where the bar maid has swirled and tipped in the dregs). It also had a solid yeast cake at the bottom, so I think the haze maybe protein related rather than yeast in suspension?

The Rampant Gryphon is brewed by the Wentworth Brewery, who are an independent brewery located on the Wentworth Estate in Rotherham. http://wentworthbrewery.co.uk/
