  Filtered into bottles and served in small berele, bulbous, narrow-necked flasks, the cloudy-gold brew tastes simultaneously sweet and pungent. […] ¶ Thus 1 or 2 cups can easily get you dizzy, especially if using berele to drink it. […] Thus, if tasting tej in berele for the first time, make sure to stand up every once in a while to check if you're feeling too dizzy to walk.
