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.

Drank at about 55 degrees - mentioned only because at that temperature, Bruegel gave off an unbelievably strong scent of apricots. Almost like sniffing a jar of jam, the fruitiest beer I’ve ever sniffed at. Taste was fruity, without any bitterness at all. But it wasn’t powerfully sweet either. A good, and different ale.

Smell is malts, wheat, flowers, hops, and caramel. Look is amber copper colored with a decent sized white head. Taste is malts, hops, ok balance between the two, watery, sort of off.

11.2 oz stubby. Clear, lightly hazed gold with a thick white head. Lightly sweet fruity nose, a bit of dust and orange. Light, bouncy mouthfeel makes this pretty drinkable. Mild flavors of lemon and light grain, hints of coriander. Sheetlike lacing. Mild and inoffensive, this is a Belgian lawnmower beer, IMO.

Bottle. This golden beer has a healthy sized white head in its glass and good lacing. I smell bread and butter, yeast, grass and a bit of caramel. The flavour is full of lemon with some herbal parts to it.

Belgian bubbly bread yeast aroma. Big white foamy head that thins quickly as it coats. Bubbly pale cloudy gold. Dry pale bubbly yeasty bread taste.
