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.

A nice looking pour with a largish head, aroma is yeast and spice. A light bodied belgian with a sweet/sour tinge and a bit of spice in the finish. Enjoyable, not the best of the breed but a decent belgian when you need to back off on the abv.

INteresting auroma on this beer. Beautiful pour. Very citrusy taste. This is another one I think I am going to let warm up a bit before I drink it. Hey, I'm the 100th person to rate this beer. Cool!

JasonG (776) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - SEP 18, 2004
Cloudy brown orange color with frothy white tenacious head that just does not dissapate at all. Aroma is sweet, subtle fruit notes, some candi sugar, faint caramel. Flavor is slightly sweet, malty, with a dry, slightly bitter finish, with a very faint metallic-like aftertaste. It’s a good brew . . . in no way is it excellent, but it’s good.

This is an ok Belgian Ale. Somewhat bland, tart, and yeasty. Finishes crisp, smooth, and dry.

Bottled Sample from MLCC. Another win for Belgian Ales. Am becoming quite fond of these.

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - MAR 25, 2011
11.2 oz. brown bottle. Pours a light amber with a small head that fades rather quickly. The aroma is lightly sweet- like sweet bread. The taste has honey and a touch of bread. Nothing to write home about and rather boring actually.

RedSox2004 (749) - Pacific Palisades, California, USA - JUN 17, 2011
Clear amber with a generous head and nice lace. Yeast and toasted malt aromas. Malt sweetness up front, with yeast, butter and gentle grassy hops notes. Medium body, lots of carbonation, slightly watery mouthfeel, and a yeasty/malty finish.

HighlanderOne (746) - Bergen County, New Jersey, USA - OCT 14, 2006
Poured from bottle (Belgian sampler). Clear amber. Gassy aroma of rotting veggies and apples. Theres a part of the flavor I like (malt) and a part I don’t (vinegar-like aftertaste). That aroma is prevalent with every sip and that’s not good. Its like someone mixed a great beer withy a bad one, or maybe this is just aging badly. Couldn’t finish this one.
