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.

Apple cider with a white soapy slowly diminishing head. Aroma of grassy hops, earthy hops and light sweet malt. Taste of mild earthy hops, corn, yeast and sweet malts with a mild apple aftertaste. Thin and astringent, barely drinkable and definitely forgettable.

330ml bottle - Pours amber with a short white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavor is of sugar and caramel with a sour aftertaste that I found rather annoying. On the palate this is light and watery. This one was nothing more than average.

Cloudy Amber Coloring. Yeasty. Of the Belgians I have had...gotta shoot this one down towards the bottom.

hayduke (2445) - Eureka, California, USA - JUN 25, 2007
Bottle. Poured a caramel colored brown with a fat off-white head and nice hunks of lacing. Nose is malts with strong caramel. Mouthfeel fizzy and not very enjoyable. Flavor is sweet, and there are lots of odd flavors. Not very enjoyable.

thegreenrooster (2435) - St.louis, Missouri, USA - AUG 11, 2006
Pour is a clear yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma is a sour bready with a hint of skunk. Flavor is sweet and hoppy but not much else. Slightly bland and boring. This is the boring beer of Belgium.

tronraner (2429) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - JAN 22, 2007
Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber with a big ivory head. The aroma is caramel and light sour fruit. The flavor is slightly sour with berries and brown sugar. Ok, but not spectacular.

Golden brown, huge head, good lacing. Fruity, perfume, yeasty. Very carbonated; clean crisp finish - very light on the tongue.

Allen (2393) - SWITZERLAND - MAR 17, 2010
Bottled 33cl. Ordered from www.bierzwerg.de. It pours a clear amber beer with a decent head. Caramel, jarred pickles and cork showing up in the nose. Diacetyl throughout. Slightly acidic. I didn’t really enjoy this beer.
