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.

fajna kolaboracja pewnie Zwolenski Mariensztadt dal te wedzone sliweczki, sa obecne, ale aromat jakos taki ulotny, tej wedzonki nie za wiele, porownywalnie jak w wiekszosci piw grodziskich. Jest fajna piana, barwa czerwona, rubinowa do ciemno kasztanowej. Piana spora i trwala bardzo, ale na szczescie nie wypadla ze szkla Nestville Beer. Fajne do sera, do roznych dan miesnych, no i co wazne alko ukryte, niczym prawie jak te niesmiale sliwusie.

Säuerlicher, spritzig zitrusartiger Beginn. Süffig, leicht holzig, Nuancen von Essig. Die Säure bleibt weitestgehend konstant, keine Karbonisierung, langer Abgang. Ungewöhnlich! 7/10/9/8/8/9

Aus der Flasche im 2023-12 getrunken. Uiiii! Was ist das? Dieses Ale stinkt nach Schimmel oder Gogonzola? Egal ich bin kein Trüffel Fan und kann dieses Aroma nicht zu ordnen. Aber Spaß im Glas ist bei diesen penetranten Geruch was anderes. Hier heißt es sicher Hate it or Love it. Am Gaumen ist es dann zum Glück dieses Trüffelaroma gar nicht mehr present und schmeckt wie ein Lager. Nein das Bier will nicht noch mal im Glas haben.

Old school hand grenade bottle at Ambasada, the last one. Heavy oxidized aroma, Perfumey orangey taste, ending bitter, solid maltiness, oxidation is there, sugary notes. Fun really!

Clear, reddish color and an off-white head. Nose of cherry and vanilla, butterscotch. Fruity, decent tart start with lots of cherries. Good balance of smoke and fruit, not overboarding. Fruity cherry finish with a touch of bonfire. Rather lite body.
