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.

roder60 (1244) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 14, 2006
Pours a clear medium orange gold with a miniscule amount of white head. Aroma is extremely sweet of caramel and butterscotch. Flavor is sweet, but then a bitter dry finish. Overall, very very lousy beer for the price.

ApisAles (1226) - Greenbelt, Maryland, USA - FEB 26, 2009
Pours a clear amber with a nice white head. Aroma was malt and corn? Kind of a wierd mash up. Flavor was off. Very much on the vinegar sde of sour but with enough malt hiding in the back to save it a little. Not a good beer.

An interesting ale. On tap at the Sunspot Cafe in Knoxville, TN. Nice light brownish colored pour with a decent head. Interesting taste. Malty aroma. Kind of sour, yet sweet as well. Sharp bite as well. Decent ale indeed!

Kåstå (1221) - Mol, BELGIUM - SEP 10, 2002
Light amber with a medium creamy head. Weak aroma, but some sweet maltyness is detectable. The taste lasts half a second, it is not a bad taste, just way too short.

jimmack (1221) - Nutley, New Jersey, USA - SEP 12, 2004
Dark amber color with a medium size off white head. Yeasty aroma. Flavor of malt at first, then gives way to a spicy, yeasty, somewhat tart finish. Metallic aftertaste. Not sure if this was a bad bottle or not, I hope so.

luckygirl (1221) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUN 10, 2007
Bottled. Beer is hazy, medium oxidized caramel brown with a large, off-white, frothy, mostly and rapidly diminishing head. Chunky lacing.<P>Smells horribly flawed. Malty with a light note of caramel; Hoppy with a trace of lemon zest; Otherwise it’s a pure diacetyl bomb. I can smell it from the table before I even touch the glass it’s so bad.<P>Moderately sweet, lightly acidic/juicy sour with a short, trace acidic and sweet very dirty finish.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Pours clear copper with a quickly dissipating moderate off-white head. Aroma of nuts, toast, caramel and a bit of yeast. The flavor is sweet and bready malt, and not that great. Light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, but somehow watery seeming. I’m glad this is just one of a variety pack.
