Beer of the Week: Freigeist Abraxas Apple Lichtenhainer Ale

Vormann, Hagen-Dahl, Germany
Based on Freigeist鈥檚 classic sour east-German wheat beer, Abraxxxas Apple Lichtenhainer and Pear Lichtenhainer feature all the complexity, funkiness, and drinkability of the original, but go one step further by adding tart and flavorful real fruit during fermentation. The resultant brews are incredibly lively, characterful and thirst-quenching. **Style:** Fruit Beer **ABV:** 6.00%

From a faraway land he comes, bringing knowledge and gifts (though you have to pay for the gifts). 海角社区app’s Brennan Haselton is joined by Neighborhood Restaurant Group Beer Director and Food and Wine Sommelier of the Year Greg Engert to talk about Freigeist Abraxas Apple Lichtenhainer Ale for the latest edition of 海角社区app’s Beer of the Week.
