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.

Starker und ausgewogener Hopfenantrunk, dabei sind malzige Aromen ein wichtiger Bestandteil. Der Hopfen ist frisch und intensiv grasig, bittere Noten sind hier noch kaum vorhanden und kommen erst spät hervor. Trotz des Hopfens ist das Bier nicht trocken, der Alkohol wird im hinteren Mittelteil kurz erkennbar. Intensiv hopfiger Abgang. Sehr gut! 12/12/12/13/13/12

Bestimmt säuerlicher Antrunk, in dem andere Noten weit in den Hintergrund rücken. Die Säure bleibt einige Zeit sehr stark und unterbindet einige Aromen langfristig. Das erste andere erkennbare Aroma ist das Malz, das sich mit der Säure durchaus arrangieren kann. Etwas salzig, ausgewogen, zum Ende recht trocken. 12/12/12/12/15/12

Malziger und kirschig-kräuterartiger Antrunk. Der benutzte Likör kommt erstaunlich deutlich zum Vorschein und bereichert das Bier. Neben den Kräuternoten ist er aber auch für eine gewisse Alkohollastigkeit im hinteren Bereich verantwortlich. Vollmundiges Finish, in dem die Kräuternoten mit dem Malz perfekt harmonieren. Ziemlich gut! 12/13/11/13/13/12

Das Bier ist deutlich weniger hopfenbetont als die Ausgangsversion, stattdessen ist das Bier trockener, die Betonung liegt mehr auf dem Malz, eine süßliche Komponente ist ebenfalls vorhanden, zudem ist es etwas alkoholischer. Den fehlenden Hopfen merkt man im Abgang deutlicher als zuvor, hier wirkt das Bier etwas wässrig, was vorher vom Hopfen verdeckt wurde. Stimmiger Nachgeschmack, in dem der Hopfen dann doch noch hervorkommt. Zudem wird der Schnapscharackter hervor. 11/11/12/11/13/11

Bottle. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and smoky lactic malt aroma. Cloudy amber color with small head. Sweet lemon initially with tart lactic malt flavor with a light bitter finish. Medium body. Not bad - flavor pretty straight-forward.
