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.

Deep pale amber, bit puffy white head. Nice nose, sugary and peachy, a bit Chardonnay-esque. Nice flavor, a bit sour and bitter, nice fruity undertone. Quite perfumed. Flavor dies off at the end.

Thanks Jadoreblanche! You’re the best! nice brown/abmer body, accompanied by a long lasting foamy white head. Some lacing left behind as well! Aroma is fruity (prunes?) hoppy, and sweet like cotton candy. taste is sweet, and there are those prunes again. Bitter, and hoppy. Nice bite on the tounge. Fairly well balcned. Nice one!

Immy (1942) - Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA - DEC 14, 2008
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.

Pours a copper-amber color with a foamy white head. Nice roasty hoppy aroma. Sweet floral flavor with a medium body. Yummy!

330 mL bottle in gift pack from LCBO. App.: pours cloudy, orangey-amber with a substantial orangey-tan head. Aroma: sour (vinegar) and apples. I tasted it and it’s off for sure. Not going any further.

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 15, 2006
Pours amber with a minimal white head. Aroma of sweet malts, citrus, caramel and yeast. Flavor is sweet upfront, smooth, caramel notes, with a bitter finish, another good belgian brew, yet easily forgettable.

Amber with a good sized head. Aroma is of wet grass an hay with some malts and hops. Flavor is malty with light hops and overall is slightly weak.
