Description
Artisanally brewed in Amsterdam since 2011.
Combining influences from the rich European beer culture with a non-conformist attitude.
From a family heritage of Swedish farm brewers and trained by the masters of ale and porter in England, we ended up in the Netherlands to create our own microcosm in the world of beer.
Inspired by the lesser known sides of European brewing culture and devoted to uncommon artisanal techniques, Butcher's Tears makes distinctive beers that progress beyond fashion and convention.

Pours a hazy light amber colour and a frothy off white head with a little retention. Aroma's: moss, soil, light fruit. Retronasal it's also quite mossy at first, with some fruit and sweetish malts. Flavour is moderate bittersweet. Medium bodied. Finishes with increasing bitterness and slightly dry. Not balanced but lekker eigenwijs.

(Draught at Craft & Draft, Amsterdam, 17 Feb 2023) Pale amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, apricots, juniper and flowers. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, candy sugar, juniper, flowers and a sweetish finish with hardly any bitterness. Medium body, quite sweet. Fairly soft for a drikku, they tend to a bit more harsh and funky. This goes more in the saison direction. Still, quite nice.

Bottle shared by Caesar. Yellow color, virtually no head. Weird aroma, herbal and spicy and sweetish. Meh don't like it. Flavor is -fortunately- only a bit herbal and spicy, not too heavy. But imo: a bit boring.
