Description
Craft beer in its purest form is what Sebastian Sauer, the head behind Freigeist beer culture, produces. Sebastian is known among experts as one of the first craft beer brewers in Germany. True or not, he's a veteran in the craft beer scene and an expert who is second to none. It's not for nothing that his beers are more popular than any other German beer in the USA, the home of craft beer.

Free spirit beer culture is conquering the craft beer world with the salvation of old, long-forgotten beer styles. Sebastian reads himself into the matter until he has found out all the ingredients of the original recipe and the subtleties and secrets of the old brewing style. With this knowledge, he then ponders how the beer would be brewed these days and what ingredients would be used. He doesn't want to bring old camels out of grandma's handbag to the light of day, but rather to transport the beers of the past with skill and expertise into the present. His beers are therefore not just reproductions of old recipes, but rather modern new editions. With this concept, the brewery has made a good name for itself in the craft beer scene and attracted international attention.

Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 04.11.2024). Very dark brown with minimal beige head. Dark fruits, mild dry bitter roast, don't feel like the eisbocking of this adds much of anything (the base beer is just okay). Average.

0.75 l bottle from 'Bierothek' (online). Murky, pale orange with a thin, slightly fluffy, quickly collapsing, white head. Slightly sweetish, gently sourish, very smoky, moderately fruity and a bit funky aroma of ripe apple, manure, old cheese, rhubarb, smoked eel and traces of banana. A little sweet, quite sour, rather smoky, gently fruity and a bit funky taste of lemon, rhubarb, smoked eel, ripe apple, yoghurt, and some apricot, followed by a medium long, fairly tart, moderately dry, slightly earthy finish. Medium body, quite astringent and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting beer, lots of things going on, unfortunately too sour again like most of the coolship beers from Freigeist. Still enjoyable but quite demanding. Mixed feelings here regarding the hefty price tag.
