kräusen

Krausen is a term from the vocabulary of brewing. It describes the beer wort at a certain point in the main fermentation. In this phase, the wort foams and forms a stately crown thanks to the resulting carbonic acid. There are different stages of frizz and it is believed that the origin of the term goes back to the look of the foam: it looks like curly, frizzy hair due to the many large bubbles. However, the term Krausen is also used for a type of beer: after the beer has finished fermenting, fresh young beer is added to it. This is still in the fermentation process and gives the already fermented beer a little kick and more carbon dioxide.

The Brauhaus Faust also brews such a Krausen beer. Her version is wonderfully naturally cloudy and comes in bottles with swing tops. A fine honey scent rises from the golden splendor and acts as a harbinger of the full-bodied and malty taste. The Krauss is a smooth and fresh beer that delivers a nice balance of floral hops and smooth malt. Hearty meat dishes or grilled dishes go perfectly with the balanced beer. Meat, fish, cheese or vegetables with a note of smoke and a hearty aroma elicit the delicate sweetness and playful nuances of hops from the beer. The gentle bitterness harmoniously rounds off the enjoyment.
