very cloudy, unfiltered.

BERNSTEIN means Amber in German. They said it was a top fermented ale using an Alt yeast, but they brewed more like a German Dunkeles, so it's a hybrid of an Alt and Dark German Pilsner. Unusual and maybe their most adventurous beer when they open the doors.

in a 0.2L glass, the beer was also too cold to evaluate really, but here goes.
Aroma: little to speak of, weak, maybe cheese as the only aroma.
Flavor---
In the front, a tad hops, noble only, though a very little spicy and somewhat tart.

Mid:pils and pale malt flavors, a little caramel.
Back: some more light caramel and pils malts.

Overall- not bad, mostly malt flavor with some tartness but not exciting.
They have so far brought this beer after being out of for a few months.
