Lipreader is a Scandinavian country ale from Butcher's Tears, an Amsterdam brewery rooted in Swedish farm brewing traditions. At 7% ABV, this beer draws its character from oak-smoked malt and hand-foraged juniper twigs from Bohuslän, combined with toasted rye for added depth.

The nose carries distinct smoke and malt forward, with juniper adding a spiced, herbal edge. On the palate, caramel and roasted grain provide a full, warming foundation, while the juniper brings a subtle, peppery complexity. Built for darker months, Lipreader balances smokiness with traditional ale richness—a beer that respects its Scandinavian roots.
