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.

ACBF. Says this beer was aged with ’Apricot Distillate Oak Chips’. Hazy amber beer, no real head. Light dry palate. Vanilla oak, not too sweet. Some fruity apricot in the background. Nicely balanced fruit and wood. Quite a warming semi dry finish. Interesting beer!

ACBF. Tried again the next day. Softish palate - a little dry. Fruity malt with a little rosemary. Finishes with a trace of sweet dried fruits and a whisper of bubblegum. Not bad.

ACBF. Cloudy brown beer, no head. Licoricey fruity malt. Quite dry. A trace of herbs. Some fruity spice which I presume the Killepitsch oaking is providing but I’m not familiar with this liquor! Dry finish. Interesting!
