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.

Niet de germaanse pils waar ik op had gehoopt. Niet clean, teveel gistkarakter, verkeerde mout, geen earthy hop

(Draught at Foeders, Amsterdam, 28 Feb 2020) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with bread, grain, hay and hints of caramel. Malty taste with notes of bread, grain, hay, grass, a sugarry caramel touch and a mild herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Very nice.

2018 vintage. Another bottle from the great Corona cellar clearing. Brown with a thin, frothy head that fades away. Aroma of brackish water, smoke. Not too endearing. Taste is mildly bittersweet with some caramel and very mild sour notes. Smoke at the end. The smoke is really the only thing going for the brew, which hovers on the border between dull and unlikeable. Body is medium to light, texture watery, surprisingly little heft for a beer of this style and strength. Below average.
