Collaboration with Burnt Mill Brewery.
A Riffle is a reach of stream where shallow, fast-moving water is broken by the presence of rocks and boulders. Riffles are found both near us here in Derbyshire and in Suffolk, near our friends at Burnt Mill Brewery. The beer itself is our collective take on a West Coast IPA, with an exceptionally pale malt base and a careful combination of both classic and modern US hop varieties, giving a crisp, clean beer full of tropical and piney aromatics.
Hops: Chinook, Centennial, Strata, Talus, Ekuanot.
Malts: Low Colour Maris Otter.

440ml can.
L: Light haze, pale gold with one finger of long-lasting cream head.
S: Woody, zesty and subtly dank.
T: Overripe tropical fruit, yellow grapefruit, sage and pine. Moderate/high bitterness that builds over time.
F: Medium/full body, smooth mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, very dry finish.
O: A bitter and hoppy West Coast IPA. Nicely dank but maybe a tad too sweet overall for my taste.

Opened the can and took the first sip and though 'yuk!'. This is so bitter it is almost undrinkable for me. It's like a sour bitterness with a metallic after taste. This is so strong, it is hard to taste the hops on top. Sort of a burnt instant coffee, charcoal,, soot, licorice and blackcurrant tastes...bit of white pepper. The bitterness just lasts for several minutes after on the tongue: like sucking on a coin. Makes your tongue curl. I've tasted far better cough mixture. Waste of money for me. May suit you though.
