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.

copper color w/ off white head. fruity aroma with a hint of citrus. sweet, fruity, it’s thin bodied and smooth drinking.

DerWeg (1251) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 11, 2005
Dull clear colour and little head. Aroma yeast and esters. Taste slightly sour and touch something musty, thin, sweetish, a bit flat and sticky but still an interesting Belgian session-type beer. Sort of a mass-produced quality to it - Bruegel is, like Mort Subite, indefineably European, even if not the greatest. Different... quite okay stuff.

Gregis (1250) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - JUL 31, 2008
Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a hazy copper with a creamy ecru head that diminishes to a skin at the surface and laces nicely. The nose is of toasted barley with a touch of floral hops in support. Medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter and mildly dry finish. The flavor is of toasty, sweet and lightly sour malt with a mild supporting note of floral hops. This is a pretty solid brew. I’m surprised to see it with such a low average rating.

jzzbassman (1249) - New Albany, Mississippi, USA - OCT 25, 2009
Pours a clear amber with a small ring left after a small head. Sweet metallic with a bit of berry. one dimensional, drinkable, but not very exciting.

roder60 (1234) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - JAN 14, 2006
Pours a clear medium orange gold with a miniscule amount of white head. Aroma is extremely sweet of caramel and butterscotch. Flavor is sweet, but then a bitter dry finish. Overall, very very lousy beer for the price.

papajohn (1232) - San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA - SEP 2, 2007
UPDATED: SEP 8, 2007 11.2 oz bottle from BevMo: Deep orange-amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is malty and bready. Flavor starts fruity followed by caramel and a lightly bitter slightly dry orange rind finish. Medium body is smooth with lively carbonation.

TheJester (1230) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 19, 2006
330 mL bottle from LCBO gift pack. Amber-orange in colour, with thick foamy head. Strong aroma of cinnamon-sugar and alcohol. Doesn’t taste how it smells, until the very end. Taste is sweet, with a definite lemony thing going on. Weird.
