Beer Post - Feierling

Our first night in Freiburg, we happened upon Feierling brewery and pub. Feierling Brewery brews a beer named Inselhopf. You'll have never heard of this because it's unavailable anywhere except for the brewery itself. To balance this inconvenience, they do offer kegs and these really cool 2L bottles that look like giant chemistry beakers.
We took seats at the bar and spent a while tasting the light and the dark versions (that's all they have). The beer is fully organic, which is always impressive, and tastes like they want to capitalize on that fact. It has very earthy flavors, Kevin insists a wheatgrass taste. Both the light and dark are very clean, light, and smooth. The light has some freshness of the hops peeking through.
Both are made with untergärig yeast, meaning at the bottom of the mash. Ben, help me out here, that's a lager, right?
Prost!
