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.

PhillyBeer2112 (2327) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - MAY 7, 2008
Almost a soft drink of a beer, it drinks so fast and light. Cloudy brownish color, with a huge meringue head. Bottle opened with a dramatic pop and foamed heavily on the pour, it was difficult to actually fill a glass. Head never did fully dissipate. Aroma started slightly phenolic, with a touch of brown sugar in the background. Flavor was more fruity, with a vague tropical note along with the brown sugar. Finish was pretty dry - the beer from the beginning was never sweet. Light body, heavy carbonation and fizzy on the palate. Very quaffable owing to the light palate and low alcohol.

Light amber coloured beer with a rather small off-white head and some little carbonation. Light buttery, malty aroma. Full palate. Finish is full malty and a light bitter touch. Nice one, but nothing special

11.2 oz bottle. The color is amber, with a white head. The aroma is sweet, with malt, and spice. The flavor is malts, with spice, and a slight floral flavor. It’s unfortunately forgettable.

Banana nose. Amber color with large sediments, thick white head, good lace. Quite sour apple and lemon flavor. Thin mouthfeel, delightfully sour, but simple.

Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Fonefan. Nice warm amber color and the head is nice. The aroma is rather thin with light notes of malt, spice and apple. The flavour is thin too, it has notes of malt, spice and a dry grapefruit-like bitterness. Not really my taste.
