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.

Rated at BeerGeek Bar. Earthy, sour and mineraly with some grainy malts, funky farmyardy yeastiness and stuffy leathery notes. A bit untypical

0.33 l can from 'AleHub', canned in April 2023. Slightly hazy, golden yellow with a medium large, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly sourish, peppery-fruity aroma of lemon peel, white pepper and hay. A little sweetish, gently sour, quite fruity taste of lemon, lemon peel, gooseberry, hay, light sauerkraut and a touch of white pepper, followed by a short, gently tart, quite dry finish. Thin to medium body, slightly astringent, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Pleasant, mellow Berliner Weisse, fairly refreshing and rather complex for such a low abv. Nice!
