Bitter Falls – Burnt Mill Brewery

Bright. Bitter. Wonderfully Crisp.

Beer Overview

Bitter Falls from Burnt Mill Brewery is a classic West Coast Pale Ale built around clarity, structure and assertive hop character. Lean, refreshing and unapologetically bitter, it celebrates everything that makes the West Coast style timeless—clean fermentation, vibrant citrus and pine, and a dry, snappy finish.

This is a pale ale for drinkers who love precision and bite. Bright hop aromatics lead the way, balanced by a restrained malt backbone that keeps the beer focused and highly drinkable.

Flavour Profile

Taste: Grapefruit zest, lemon peel and resinous pine layered over subtle biscuit malt.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium-bodied, crisp and refreshing.

About Burnt Mill Brewery

Based in Suffolk, Burnt Mill focus on brewing beers to a very high standard that are un-filtred and fresh. Owned by former home brewer Charles O’Reilly, Burnt Mill was founded in 2016 with a keen eye on quality and standards. Head Brewer Sophie de Ronde brought a wealth of brewing knowledge and talent. Between them and a fledgling team, they quickly established Burnt Mill as a brewery to be loved by beer fans around the country. Whilst Burnt Mill produce a wide range of styles, the major on all things West Coast. Bright, clean crisp Pales and IPAs are always main stage and form the foundation of their catalogue.
