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.

Coppery color with a light tan or off-white head. A bit malty at first with a nuttiness in the flavor as well. A hint of hops bitterness in the finish.

Bottle explodes a light brown with an overabundant tannish colored frothy/dishwater like head.   The carbonation of this one just cant wait to get out of the glass.   Lacing seems nice.   Aroma is of tart apples and raisins.   Initial taste yields a yeasty sulfur like taste, along with some mold & earth hints.   Finish is a bit tart, perhaps like unsweetened fruit.   Mouthfeel is explosive, overly carbonated.   Not bad, but probably not something I would have again.

Bottle from Super Saver. Deep golden pour with 1-finger white head. Aroma of bready malt, hopcitrus, some corn. The flavor was citrusy, lemongrassy, limey, with some bready malt, honey, and hop notes.

I found this a fairly simplistic brew. Starts with a nice white head and deep brown colour. The nose and flavour are sweet, kind of rasin like. There’s a hint of sourness near the end and an awfully stron alcohol presence for a beer that only clocks in at 5% abv.

this amber pours a big foamy off white head that made some snap,crackel,pop noises as it simmered down.the color was a murky reddish orange.i got an aroma of brown sugar,metal,figs,and yeast.the first sip started a bit watery,then came some yeast,then brown sugar,then some cardboard.very interesting brew.

Bart (2329) - Brussels, BELGIUM - APR 27, 2008
Light amber coloured beer with a rather small off-white head and some little carbonation. Light buttery, malty aroma. Full palate. Finish is full malty and a light bitter touch. Nice one, but nothing special

From a small bottle, poured a burnt orange-copper body with a small fizzy white head. Sweet, chalky aroma of maltiness. Brown sugar and sweet fruit nectar finish. Not spectacular, but not bad either.

Bottle that I picked up from somewhere? Consumed at Campsite in Guines, France 12-06-09. Pours light brown/amber with a white head. The aroma is musty. Fruity beer, quite light in taste and almost sessionable. This is quite tasty with a little bitterness showing, but is marked down a little for having a slight metallic edge to it, though I did find it tangy and decent overall. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov12 3.1
