Auf der Suche nach dem besonderen Geschmackserlebnis stießenunsere Braumeister auf den sonnenverwöhnten Cascade-Hopfen aus den Vereinigten Staaten und verliebten sich sofort in seinen aufregenden Duft und das fruchtig-milde Citrus-Aroma.
Die im Brauprozess umgesetzte Hochzeit mit einem traditionellen Hefestamm von den Britischen Inseln rundet den Geschmack ab. – Willkommen daheim, Weltenbummler!
Das Bernsteiner ist ein gelungenes Pale Ale Bier, das nicht zu aufdringlich ist, sondern eher als angenehme Spezialität gerne nach dem nächsten Glas verlangt.

Can. Deep dark, clear gold. Medium head. Who knew the Germans know how to make a really good pale ale. Aroma was a tad sweet with a nice well balanced smell. Taste was just just great. Just the right amount of hops flavor. Wish I had another.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a tint of copper, all with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, hay, light grain, a touch of light metal and some more astringent yeast and biscuity notes. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very caramely flavour with some toffee and grain with a big punch of grain towards the finish and a light bready/yeast flavour at the tail end. Aftertaste shows the grain, perhaps the smallest dose of German hops around, as well as a more earthy and nutty finish from the malts with a decent balance of sugar through and through. Overall, a decent enough, drinkable and palatable beer that doesn't show any 'pale ale' notes, but does show some decent malt and sweet flavours throughout and a nice balance. I sampled this 500 mL can as Day Twenty-One [of twenty-four] of the 2018 Christmas Advent Calendar, purchased from Costco in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 30-September-2018 for US$59,99/twenty-four, sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-December-2018.

33cl bottle. A clear dark golden beer with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweetish grainy malt, straw, grains. Taste of dry sweetish grainy sweet malt, straw, traces of honey, low bitterness. Boring!

0,33 bottle. Különleges szín, szűretlen felé hajlik, átmenet a szép borostyán és a félbarna között. Habja sajnos csak közepes, fehér. Finom, keverten malátás, élesztős, kenyeres illat, háttérben citrusossággal - ipa-ra hasonlítóan, csak sokkal -sokkal gyengébben a kevesebb komló miatt. Jól eltalált szénsavasság, jól eltalált alkoholfok. Ajándékba kaptam, ha itt hozzá lehetne jutni, egy nagyon jó ivó ale lenne.

It is a special color, leaning towards unfiltered, a transition between beautiful amber and semi-brown. Its head is unfortunately only medium white. Delicate, mixed malt, yeasty, bready aroma, with citrus in the background - similar to ipa, only much weaker due to fewer hops. Well hit carbonation, well hit alcohol. I got it as a gift, if you could get it here, it would be a very good drinking ale

From the bottle. Pours amber, clear. The foamy white head soon fades away. Not much evident carbonation, looks rather flat. Aroma is caramel, biscuits, smoke. Taste is mildly sweet, traces of caramel and white bread. Nothing exciting but also nothing offensive.

This should have been the Kalea Advent Calendar Day 4, but have stocked up a couple of days. Malty layers aroma. A hazy amber. Bubbly translucent white head. Light bitter, of a quinine nature. Some citrus seen in there. As I drink more a caramel sweetness makes an appearance at the end. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy. Abrupt finish. Not great. Had worse. Not quite shite pale lager lows.
