Bernstein Red Ale

Tap to rate

Freshly roasted almonds and forest honey on the nose; on the palate a full, elastic body recalling caramel and dried fruit, laced with a delicate hop bitterness and a long, malty finish. A top-fermented ale at 5.4 % ABV and 14 % original gravity, amber with copper highlights and a creamy head, brewed from water, barley malt and hops under the Reinheitsgebot in the Görlitz brewery on the Neisse.

◌ Aroma

Freshly roasted almonds lead the nose, accompanied by a warm, forest honey sweetness that suggests gentle caramelization. Subtle roasted malt tones ground the bouquet, with a restrained noble hop character providing fine spice and herbal balance without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a full, elastic body carrying pronounced caramel and dried-fruit notes—raisin and fig appear alongside the honey impression from the nose. A delicate hop bitterness threads through the mid-palate, never sharp, supporting rather than leading the malt-driven character with restrained assertiveness.

◑ Finish

A long, malty finish dominated by residual sweetness and gentle roasted undertones. The hop bitterness fades gracefully, leaving a warm, slightly nutty dryness that invites the next sip.
