The Freestyle / Experimental Style Beer category is one of the highlights every year of the Craft Beer Awards. Here the tasters meet exciting, experimental beers that break out of the defined categories of the competition. Creativity and implementation of the experiment are the all-important criteria here when judging the beers. Almost 40 beers were on the jury tables in September 2021.
Freestyle Beer of the Year 2021:
Doppelleu Citra Double Wit, Switzerland
Beers that push the boundaries of firmly defined styles are the focus of the competition for the best freestyle beer. This year, the race was won by a creative, more strongly brewed interpretation of the Belgian beer style Wit with 6.5 vol.%. Fruity-fresh with a fine citrus scent and exotic aromas, including orange and coriander, which are harmoniously integrated into the smooth body.
