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.

gsmitty80 (1362) - Washington DC, USA - SEP 20, 2010
This beer had very much carbonation which resulted in a thick and froathy head that took a long time to diminish. Once the head went down, the beer was very nice and smooth. Not too much bite to it at all like other Belgians i have had. Very amber in flavor.

maniac (3474) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - SEP 17, 2010
Bottle at the Richmond Beer Dig on 03/07/2010. Slightly hazy golden body with a small off-white head. Sweet fruit and light caramel aroma. Sweet spicy, caramel and fruit flavor. Medium light body with moderately high carbonation.

Nena (957) - Seattle, Washington, USA - AUG 7, 2010
Clear golden with lots of visible bubbles, huge surging loose white head. Sweet fruit and caramel candy and dough aroma with spice. Has an odd funk similar to whey and melon. Rather hard to pinpoint. Slightly caramelly taste with more of that off, milky whey taste and artificial cantelope. Also more of the aforementioned spice and doughiness. Light, thin feel. Not the best part of the pack.

Butters (2836) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JUL 26, 2010
Sampled at the richmond beer dig spring 2010. Nose is funky. Tasted like bitter lemonade. Large carbonation is quite refreshing. Nice.
