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. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours clear golden copper with an okay, frothy white head - okay lacing. Aroma is very mild with a light touch of caramel. Okay mouthfeel, but a touch watery. Soft flavour, caramel and lightly tart. Generally, though, it is sweet and uncomplicated.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear orange with a lacing white head. Malty and mildly spiced aroma. Flavour is light fruity and light spiced. Mild caramel malt note with a light acidic touch. Light acidic finish with a spice note.

cgort (56) - San Clemente, California, USA - APR 1, 2008
Pours a deep red. Smelled floral and sweet. Tasted sweet with the same floral scent coming through in the flavor. Also had a strong candy aftertaste. Overall I thought it was refreshing and I didn’t think it was a bad beer.

aracauna (2649) - Georgia, USA - MAR 27, 2008
Pours a clear copper. The aroma is a bit of overripe candied apple. Some slight brown sugar in the flavor as well. This has a bit of the taste of extract beer, though.

Foggy amber lite brown. Aroma is on the fruity side, apples. Reminds me of Deschutes Hop Trip so Im liking it. However I think Hop Trip works a little better. Nice beer.

11.2 oz bottle pours golden yellow with only a slight head. Nice malt taste but too much of a bitter aftertaste with adequate carbonation. Not bad but not outstanding either.

Poured a golden yellow color with a medium carbonated head almost like a soda. Malty taste with bitter after taste. Just o.k.

Pours a dark yellow with a finger of white foamy head. Smells of sweet malt and a hint of hops. Earthy...a little too bitter on the tounge, with a metallic bite. Medium body with abundant carbonation.
