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.

Pour is a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is a sour bready with a hint of skunk. Flavor is sweet and hoppy but not much else. Slightly bland and boring. This is the boring beer of Belgium.

JCapriotti (1379) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - FEB 10, 2004
Huge frothy head atop a hazy amber/copper body. Hay-like dry fruit aroma with grape skin hints. Flavor is light and tastes sweet & dry like watered-down slightly yeasty sprite. Too much carbonation... burns the tongue. Nothing special to me.

Bottle. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma. Tastes of caramel, malt, slight bitterness, rather thin and incredibly bland. Not good IMO. Give me a Piraat any day.

Marko (3115) - Split, CROATIA - NOV 10, 2006
Bottle shared with ozujsko at the Hopdevil in Zagreb
It looks nice a nice dark orange shade, with a medium sized head that went away fast. The nose was all buttery caramel, slightly milky. The taste is all that, only with some faint metallic and lemony hints and a faint whisper of hops. Remarkably unimpressive.
