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.

Not as strong in flavor or kick as I like Belgian ales to be. Decent all the same. Would have been a great beer had it had a bit more spiciness to it. The finish was a bit rough although bearable.

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.

330 mL bottle at the Red Monk. Relatively uninspiring, fairly generic in most respects. Belgian ale for beginners, perhaps. Slightly bready and yeasty, but nothing terribly interesting going on. Easy drinking, certainly, and not offensive in any way.

Bottle Off-white fizzy head. Sparkling amber body. Artificial aroma of butter, caramel, grain, cookies, ... Moderately sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Weak body. Lively carbonation.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2006 Rerate. A nice white head. The body is a very dark copper and amber color. A slight funky balsamic vinegar and blue cheese aroma. There are also some apples. Interesting. The taste is slightly sour with some limes and oranges. A hint of bread crust. Finishes with some sweet peaches. This is certainly unique.

Cloudy orange color. Nice aroma that, like the taste was a good combination of wheat and lemon. A good amount of bite that is actually quite good with this beer.

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.
