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.

Fancy finding this in southern Indiana. Thanks, Sahara! Bottle. Very sweet and malty aroma with complimentary yeast. Lightly spiced with some citrus rind and caramel. Caramel-colored (translucent) with a large, rocky, pillowy, lacing, rich eggshell head that lasts for ages. Yeasty taste with medium-strong carbonation and oily malt. Only slightly sweet, and not really bitter, but a touch of sourness. Faint dark fruit with stronger lemon, orange, and coriander notes. Possible ginger, possible metal. Otherwise thinnish body and a dry, malty, biscuity, slightly spicy aftertaste. No real blend here. Decent, slightly dull session.

Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 9, 2005
Thanks to DMeyers69. A light fruity cherrywood aroma with a bit of Belgian yeast. Somewhat tart, but also has a bit of nutty hint to it. Light alcohol smell, too. Is medium dark amber, clear, with off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with mild carbonation. Starts with a sweet nuttiness, a bit dry, with some tang. Mild fruity malt with ozone-like quality. Burnt toy electric train tang. Kind of watery overall, like an amber ale mixed with some flemish sour ale.

Bottle shared with ozujsko at the Hopdevil in Zagreb
It looks nice a nice dark orange shade, with a medium sized head that went away fast. The nose was all buttery caramel, slightly milky. The taste is all that, only with some faint metallic and lemony hints and a faint whisper of hops. Remarkably unimpressive.

PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - MAY 21, 2006
UPDATED: JUL 19, 2006 Poured a cloudy amber with barely any head. Fruity, brown sugar, almost apple-cider like aroma.Smooth palate, light gassyness. Roasty maltiness in the finish.

bottle. Beer poured a clear amber with a thin off white head that left little lacing. Brew was very similar to a domestice amber like Karl Strauss.
