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.

33cl bottle from ABC Liquors (North Dale Mabry, Tampa, FL). Rated on 5/6/08. Pours a clear golden with a one-finger white head. Aroma is banana, spice, apple, pear, and slight hints of phenol. Flavor is not strong but notes of malt, sweet fruit and bread come through. Generally watery mouthfeel with a some hints of apple on finish.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - SEP 23, 2004
Amber with a foamy white head. Aroma was complex: spice, fruit, sugar, herbs. Mouthfeel was nothing notable. Perhaps a bit too carbonated. Flavor was spicy and fruit like some herbal tea.

jaghana (1800) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - DEC 23, 2009
Bottle 33. Clear amber beer with a heavy white head. Taste is very bitter but nice anyway with notes of malt, rosted, caramel and agrumes, a bit of citrus. The hops is nice and quite present and remains at the finish. A very pleasant beer, nice body, very drinckable and not too high in alcool. A unexpected nice experience.

Murphy (1759) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JAN 3, 2003
Pretty basic, although I feel this is under rated. Nice light murky color and a billowing head. Too bad it gave off a weak aroma. Another day, another rating.

Gr0ve (1755) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 22, 2007
330 ml bottle. Clear amber colour. Medium-sized white head. Nutty caramel aromas. Notes of burnt caramel. Hints of physalis. Light-bodied. Some mellow caramel malts, but overall t is not really particularly interesting. OK, but nothing more.
