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.

reebtogi (1551) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 9, 2011
Light amber in color with small off-white head and minimal lace. Aromas of cereal, floral hops and some yeast. Taste is slightly sweet up front with a light hoppy finish. Carbonation is good, but body a little to light.

Pours a very slightly cloudy gold with little head. Nose is like...apples and cheese. It’s been a while since I had such an odd nose. So weird. I get all sorts of weird descriptive terms off this one. Musty apple stew that has been sitting in the light for several hours. Flavor keeps that apple tone going, but it lacks a smooth balance or an interesting enough flavor profile to make it very interesting. I also get a caramel tone on the end. Feel is thin with minimal carbonation and the drinkability stays low due to uninspiring flavor and overall characteristics.

LinusStick (2385) - Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 24, 2007
Decent Belgian. Pour was a light to medium brown with no head. Aroma was honey and malt. Taste was sweet like a mix of honey, malt and yeast with not as much carbonation as most Belgians. Nice

cking (1175) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - OCT 27, 2008
Faint, spicy aroma with some earthiness thrown in. Clear copper body topped by a thin filmy head and moderate lacing around the glass. On the light side, sweet and peppery. Finishes thin w/ a sliver of lasting bitterness. Sweet, biscuity malt with mild, musty yeast flavors. Pepper and faded hop flavors. Nice brew that could be sessionable due to it’s mild pleasantness.

Imperial-John (192) - Mississauga, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 21, 2008
Belgian bubbly bread yeast aroma. Big white foamy head that thins quickly as it coats. Bubbly pale cloudy gold. Dry pale bubbly yeasty bread taste.

jkwood04 (1204) - Connecticut, USA - JUN 6, 2011
11.2oz bottle in a Trappist glass. Pours amber with a lacy, off-white head. Aroma of Belgian spicy yeast, candy sugar, floral hops, and hints of caramel and light fruit. Flavor pretty good, but could have more. Average texture. A pretty good beer.

Bottle at Chester’s beers of the world, Hamilton. Pours a brownish gold. Aroma is little hopy. Taste is also a little hopy and some spice.
