3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
it is light - but not too light. it has a real refreshing and spicy character about it. it is bitter and fruity, almost lemony. it is also a bit chalky. nice light pure white head on a light golden brew. it has a kind of vegetable touch that fades to the fruit and grains, i find that appealing. this is a good country brew. i was mildy surprised.

330 ml bottle. Clear amber colour. Medium-sized white head. Nutty caramel aromas. Notes of burnt caramel. Hints of physalis. Light-bodied. Some mellow caramel malts, but overall t is not really particularly interesting. OK, but nothing more.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden tranlucent color, lemony scent. Taste is slightly malty, sour with a spicy citrusy scent. Not much hops to speak of. Dry palate.
1.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled. Aroma is lactic with malts, caramel and herbs in the background. Amber color, beige irregular head, few lace. Sour, lactic, even vinegar, bit fruity, flat and thin. Something clearly went wrong somewhere.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 18/20
Dark amber color, thick tan head but no carbonation in the glass. Rose and grapefruit aroma blending with a mild hop scent in the end. Medium palate without the intense carbonation of many belgium styles. Lemon and citrus flavor combined with strong representations of wheat give Bruegel a rounded flavor. A mild but persistant taste of hops rounds out an excellently put together beer. This brand is largely unknown in the States but it should be tried.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: JUN 26, 2007 330 mL bottle. brownish golden amber with a thin white head. Aroma of bread and yeast. Taste of a grainy wheat bread and yeast.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured a caramel colored brown with a fat off-white head and nice hunks of lacing. Nose is malts with strong caramel. Mouthfeel fizzy and not very enjoyable. Flavor is sweet, and there are lots of odd flavors. Not very enjoyable.
1 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 1/20
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.
