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.

A clean mild pale ale, very well balanced body. A bit of funk, earthiness, good. Scandinavian kviek-like. Butchers tears tap ams

A bit sour and sharp. Dark cloudy amber, smells a bit like chemicals. Yet still it’s quite drinkable due to the funk. Butchers tearsvtap ams

19/VIII/21 - on tap, shared @ Craft & Draft (Amsterdam), BB: n/a (2021-885) Thanks to the misses for going on a beer tour with me!
Clear orange beer, dense creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: little funky, malty, yeasty, oranges and orange peel, bit fruity, funky, more brett-like character. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: little soapy, bitter, hoppy, some orange peel, funky, a little dirty, some sulphur, wild touch, bit oxidized. Aftertaste: dry finish, grassy, little funky, oranges, hoppy, bit minty, herbal, lots of marijuana.

Pretty clear orange beer, creamy dense off-white head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit yeasty, very soapy, floral, slightly fruity. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: hoppy start, pretty resinous, fruity touch, some citrus. Aftertaste: soapy, gentle bitterness, citrus, more soapy, resinous, piny, little malty. Rather mediocre IPA.

Clear dark brown pour and a creamy mocha-beige head with good retention. Aroma's of dark malts, chocolate, roasted grain. Retronasal it's roasted, dark chocolate, sweetish, bitterish. Flavour is light moderate bittersweet with a touch of fruity sourness. Light bodied but not too thin. Finishes slightly dry, roasty, moderate bitter. Pretty good.

Bottle at home. Slight hazy deep amber with nice beige head. Toasty malts, light berries, light yeast, flowery, wet forest and even some mushrooms, tea. Medium sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied. I like the styles this brewery does even though I don't especially like this beer.
