Thornbridge X Burnt Mills- Riffle, West Coast IPA (7.0% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists.

Today its John’s turn to try out a cheeky Collab, this time its a punch 7%-er from Thornbridge & Burnt Mills.

  1. Name: Riffle
  2. Brewery: Thornbridge X Burnt Mills
  3. Aroma :  faint Hop and a touch of Lemon
  4. Appearance :  almost crystal clear amber in appearance with a tight white head when poured
  5. Body :  medium bodied, well carbonated with poor head retention.
  6. Taste : Crisp hop with a slight pine and malty draw

The Chinook centennial and Talud hops give it its hoppy and piney bite. like its name sake this is a fast moving refreshing torrent of hop that makes the mouth water. Quite strong at 7% but all together enjoyable and not overpowering, definitely one for the more traditional IPA drinker.

Our overall rating: 3.6/ 5.0
