Description
We are Boutilliers, a small brewery based around the back of a farm shop in Faversham (Macknade fine foods if you were the curious sort.) Originally founded by 2 former uni buds, Boutilliers is now run by Rich, a former english teacher, and Drew, professional loud mouth. Our core focus is to brew creative styles and innovate with the resources we have to hand. When possible we like to use produce from local companies including tea and hops but we’ve not limited ourselves to this philosophy. Beer is an infinitely sprawling landscape with an equal number of potential possibilities, we don’t wish to simply make the same beer every time we brew, we want to explore, we want to play, we want our beer to be fun.

Just a very light haze on this amber beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Something unpleasant on the nose, whiff of varnish or something like it but it is not strong enough to be completely off-putting, just an unwelcome distraction. Palate is quite light and semi dry, moderate fine carbonation, enough for this brew. Smooth light malts, a touch of caramel and a whisper of dry cream. Some ripe orange and mellow orange peel into a light but curiously spicy finish. Not alcohol spice but like someone laced some chilli in there. Don't hate this but it is lacking depth and complexity and is a little odd.
