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.

Draught. Hazy golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is rhubarb, some salts, mild tart citrus and wood with some slight bretty elements. Flavour is rhubarb, some sour wood, hay, grass and mild lemongrassy elements. Refreshing and quite dry palate. Still a very pleasant beer to drink.

This version brewed at Urban Chestnut in St. Louis, MO. Cloudy pale straw-orange body, huge cream head. Effervescent carbonation. Aroma estery (clove, banana), biscuit, bread dough, and floral hops. Body has a nice bite and sour tang, with a bready-estery middle (again with more pronounced banana and clove notes than I recall ever noticing in a Kolsch). Really enjoyable.

Bottled. Golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy and lasting head, that also leaves some lace. Aroma is honey, some sweetish malts, mild toasted tones with earth and some grainy elements. Flavour is sweet malts, some smoke, mild bitter tones and herbal elements to it. Smoky and somewhat bitter grassy/earthy aftertaste. One of the beer styles that is really hit and miss (even though you would happen to like it).
