Bottle. Color: Hazy golden, almost no head, only a few big bubbles. Aroma: Malty, melon, dark fruit, caramel. Taste: Malty, fruity notes of melon and dark fruit, spicy hints, some caramel. Quite coarse hopbitterness in the background. (from the Bullion hop?) Very unusual taste for a Pale Ale, but hey... this is a Butcher's Tears beer. Which other brewery uses Bullion hop in a Pale Ale instead of some kind of Stout, Doppelbock or Barley Wine? I think it's this hop that's giving this beer that Stout-like touch that's making this one so unusual. But what I don't like about this one is that it's nearly flat. I wonder if it's meant like that. I've had far better Butcher's Tears for sure.
