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.

blankboy (4285) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 3, 2006
Bottle. Pours a clear bubbly orange-amber with a large lasting fizzy white head. Nice lacing. Sweet aroma of yeast, fruit, caramel malt, spices and a mild sourness. Flavour follows the aroma and surprises with a nice mild bitter finish. Fizzy and dry, it goes down smooth. Thin bodied. Pretty good.

ogivlado (4275) - Zagreb, CROATIA - NOV 15, 2006
Bottled(330ml). –Shared with Doggythedog at the Hopdevil in Zagreb
So far the worst Belgian beer from Hopdevil. Orange/amber coloured, medium white head, stinky stale caramel nose. Taste is similar to below average slovenian homebrew beers. So far the worst Belgian beer from Hopdevil.

thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - OCT 18, 2004
This bottled brew poured a large sized head of frothy large sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body contained average carbonation, was transparent and brown in color. Its aroma contained notes of mild brown malt grass and dough. Its mouth feel is initially tingly mildly vinous and strange with a lingering tingly finish. Its flavor contained mild brown malt caramel and citrusy notes and something else that I could not identify other than a form of licorice. A very average brew.
