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.

37.5cl bottle from Alvinne beershop. BB 03-2012 Couleur acajou présentant un léger trouble, col ocre/beige. Arôme est aromatique avec une pointe épice et herbacé de romarin. En arrière, une note de houblon rappelant la citronnelle le tout sur un aspect boisée de copeaux de chêne rappelant un cabernet blanc qui s’accompagne d’une note de vanille. Bouquet est original et bien balancé. Garde ce petit côté organique de miel avec une fraicheur de tonneau et de bois. En bouche, même plaisir à déguster. D’ailleurs, cette bière se boit lentement, et laisse apprécier les nombreuses saveurs qui viennent se développer au palais. Je note une fine note aigre de boise et chêne, légère douceur de miel et aromatique venant du romarin qui donne un léger profile médicinal (léger picotements) avec des note de citronnelle très fraîches. Le miel donne un palais épais et organique et l’usage de chêne fait penser a du cabernet. Garde ce profile aigre-doux balancé par la miel, le tout avec ce profile de romarin et de chêne somptueux.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a cloudy brown with a rough beige head. Roast, dark fruits and a little oak in the nose. Medium body, low carbonation, somewhat tart overripe fruit and again a subtle oaky edge. Some hops in the finish. A complex and interesting beer. 260911

Bottled. An brown beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of hops, malt, straw, and yeast. The flavor is sweet and sour with notes of brettanomyces, malt, caramel, and hops, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

37cl bottle from Alvinne beershop, BB 03/2012. Brune foncée, mousse au teint moka qui disparaît vite. Arôme, malt biscuité, caramel, fruité noire avec une pointe de ce toffee que l’on retrouve dans pas mal de bières allemandes. Bière surprenante car on s’attend à une porter qui en fait est agrémentée de Brett donc un résultat surprenant alliant le caractère malt/grillé de la porter avec ce côté aigre. Je note des fruits noirs acidifiés avec une touche de réglisse. La palais est réchauffant de par les 8% et la fin conserve ce profile malt grillé et caramel qui se prête bien aux notes venant de Brettanomyces. L’aspect minéral du sel ne se fait pas vraiment ressentir.
