COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bruegel is an easy drinking soft and tasty amber ale. Thanks to the refermentation it offers more body, more head and more taste than most other American and Belgian Amber ales. It is brewed with Dutch barley and German hops. Although the bitterness is clearly present, it is not dominant.

Bottle 33. Clear amber beer with a heavy white head. Taste is very bitter but nice anyway with notes of malt, rosted, caramel and agrumes, a bit of citrus. The hops is nice and quite present and remains at the finish. A very pleasant beer, nice body, very drinckable and not too high in alcool. A unexpected nice experience.

garthicus (2088) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 1, 2008
Part of Belgian gift pack. Orange body, small white head. Aroma: Malt, peppery, some slight yeast. Flavour: Mild, slight pepper, a little yeast. Quite bland. Nothing incredible but I’m happy I had it.

bitbucket (2082) - Kirkland, Washington, USA - AUG 7, 2006
Bottled. Pours a clear amber with a lacy cream-colored head. The body is medium with medium carbonation. Corriander, toffee and fruit in the nose. The taste is caramel and fruit with a bit of corriander and cloves in the in the ever-so-slightly bitter finish. No out standing characteristics, but no problems either. This would be a hugely sessionable beer.

Murky orange in colour. Malty, light caramel aroma. Flavour is slightly sweet and hoppy. Finishes slightly bitter and light. Really simple.

Angeloregon (2054) - Portland, Oregon, USA - JAN 14, 2008
From a small bottle, poured a burnt orange-copper body with a small fizzy white head. Sweet, chalky aroma of maltiness. Brown sugar and sweet fruit nectar finish. Not spectacular, but not bad either.

Joeh (2036) - Buckinghamshire, ENGLAND - OCT 17, 2002
Bottle Conditioned. Yellow, huge carbonation - foam went everywhere. Light in comparison to the Augustijn which I sampled on the same evening. Pretty unreamarkable.

Pours amber with a short lived whitish head. Smell is fresh light and bright smelling malt with some estery yeast. Taste is yeasty, fruity and malty. Clean flavors with banana. Crisp refreshing mouthfeel with a medium body. Light balancing hop flavor in finish. Pretty decent.

Amber with a good sized head. Aroma is of wet grass an hay with some malts and hops. Flavor is malty with light hops and overall is slightly weak.
