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.

Pours a clear copper. The aroma is a bit of overripe candied apple. Some slight brown sugar in the flavor as well. This has a bit of the taste of extract beer, though.

GregClow (2645) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 28, 2002
Nice orange-red colour with a strong off-white head. Really nice aroma of malt and caramel, which led me to anticipate a similar warming flavour - but it just wasn’t there. The body is light and watery, and the flavour holds barely a hint of what the aroma suggests. No great finish to speak of either. A real disappointment.

NobleSquirrel (2570) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 12, 2008
clear amber, though no head. nose is sweet and sharp, obvious aromatic malt influence. Taste is very much malt forward, reminiscent of a dark lager, caramel. Not too bad, actually.

DaSilky1 (2570) - San Diego, California, USA - NOV 21, 2002
UPDATED: FEB 23, 2003 poured amber with a nice white head, aroma was of nutty/alcoholic tartness, fizzy to say the least, sweet alcohol/subtle cherriness...sparkling loveliness, subtle but spectacular...

travita (2535) - Frisco, Texas, USA - DEC 31, 2008
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.

Bottle: Poured a copper amber color with creamy off white head. The aroma is fruit and malty. Sweet caramel malt flavor with hint of honey.

crossovert (2525) - Wisconsin, USA - FEB 9, 2011
UPDATED: MAR 6, 2011 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber, true to its name, with a big fluffy white head that leaves a wall of lacing. This one is similar to Biere du Boucanier red int he smell. Fruity Pebbles come to mind in the scent. There is a scant hoppiness underneath that provides a bit of balance to the sweet smell. The flavor isn’t as fruity, rather a sweet but not overly so toffee tinged beer. It has rich caramel like flavors. The fruit is there in the flavor though, this one would go good with american hops. This is a solid brew that is a worthy part of the mix pack from this brewery. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 05-07-2010 01:28:16
