This strain is prone to forming incredibely large flocs unlike any other yeast we've seen before, yet still remains highly attenuative.

Bergen also exhibits the ability to ferment wort over a large temperature range, 21-37°C. 

At the cooler end of the range Bergen is clean; producing little to no esters and phenols. But builds a huge fruit ester profile as the temperature increases.

To ensure a healthy fermentation it is a good idea to incorporate some yeast nutrient in your brewing. You can purchase some here.
