About
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.

330ml bottle. Dark brown colour with small, creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty and slightly chocolately, dark malty aroma, hints of pumpernickel, treacle, chocolate, some coffee, whiffs of blueberry, metallic overtones. Taste is roasty, chocolately, dark malty and slightly yeasty fruity, some residual sweetness, notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, some pumpernickel, blueberry, a touch of plum butter, treacle, cherry, some herbal, bitter hop in the last third, maybe a touch of cascara; bitter roasty and bitter hoppy finish with fruity basic layer. Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Light but sporting a wide spectrum of flavours - not bad.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass brownish, small head. Fruity-malty alcoholic aroma. Starts very strong, alcoholic, malty-grainy. Sharp fruity notes in the background, overloaded by alcohol. Not much of an IIPA left. But quite interesting.

Copper colored with a frothy, white head. Woodsmoke and caramel aroma. Taste is mildly to moderate bitter with faint peppercorn at the finish and lingering smoke. Straightforward but nicely done.
