Bruegel Amber Ale

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Reviewed from notes. Pours a copper color with a white head. Decent amount of lacing as it goes down. Nose brings some nice orange zest as well as caramel. The taste is mildly sweet with caramel and toffee. Some citrus and orange, though not quite as much as the nose. Feel is a bit light with good carbonation. Ever so slightly dry. Drinks pretty well and another good offering from Van Steenberge. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-20-2010

Cloudy and bitter, but has a resin to it that helps balance it out. Good beer very easy to sip.

330 ml bottle a amber colored beer with a white head aroma malts spicy and hops taste malts spicy some fruits and hops

Poured from a bottle into a tulip glass. Appearance is a translucent amber with a long lasting white head of foam. Aroma is malty and very footlike. Taste is malty. Solid beer.

33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy orangey amber color with a thin white cap head. Smells of buttery candy, juicy fruit and a fermented malt. Taste has a thin toasted malt character, with a hint of buttery caramel and a mildly sweet fruity character of apricot in the back. Dry finish with a lingering metallic twang. Very basic, not that complex.

Bottle at Chester’s beers of the world, Hamilton. Pours a brownish gold. Aroma is little hopy. Taste is also a little hopy and some spice.

UPDATED: JAN 30, 2012 In all honesty it tastes a lot, too much so, like a regular American Amber Ale, although not as sweet. Not bad overall, not really great, just a little better than an AAA.

Clear amber color with modest head. Carmel malt aroma and taste. After-taste was very minor hop bitterness, and a touch of alcohol.
