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.

An interesting ale. On tap at the Sunspot Cafe in Knoxville, TN. Nice light brownish colored pour with a decent head. Interesting taste. Malty aroma. Kind of sour, yet sweet as well. Sharp bite as well. Decent ale indeed!

Crockett (916) - Steelback County, Ontario, CANADA - MAR 9, 2005
Pours clear deep amber, tiny white head. Nose is sweet and fruity, lightly spiced. Very straight forward. Quite malty, not very bitter. Lots of apple sauce. Good but not exciting.

UPDATED: AUG 21, 2011 I have had this beer a couple of times with mixed results. This rating was for one of the better bottles. +++ Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a hazy reddish amber color with a large tan head that lingers. There is a mild sweet and sour scent. The beer is heavily carbonated - which is something I do not really care for. The aroma was sweetish with notes of apple and pear. The flavor is mildly sweet and had notes of pear and apple with a peppery and yeasty undertone. The finish was medium length and the body slightly to the thick side of medium. This is a decent beer. The comment that came up at the table was that this was a beer you could easily drink all night, but that would not inspire you to really seek it out.

bottle. Sourish taste that reminds me of a buckwheat beer I had once, yeasty...has that same belgian taste that other belgians do. Good, however not extraordinary. I liked it though.

Bottle. Slightly hazy deep golden, lively foamy clingy head. Aroma of honey and brewers ccereal. Flavours of honey, light caramel, light pineapple, with nice floral hop nuances in the finish. I liked it more than I expected.

Immy (1942) - Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA - DEC 14, 2008
11.2 oz stubby. Clear, lightly hazed gold with a thick white head. Lightly sweet fruity nose, a bit of dust and orange. Light, bouncy mouthfeel makes this pretty drinkable. Mild flavors of lemon and light grain, hints of coriander. Sheetlike lacing. Mild and inoffensive, this is a Belgian lawnmower beer, IMO.

Says amber on the bottle but is definitely closer to a double to me. Murky, muddy brown color which is not all that attractive. Earthy and fruity aroma. The fruit comes through in the flavor with some grape and apple in there. Overall a well rounded beer.
