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.

The aroma was slightly malty w/ flowers and a dark fruit sweetness. The flavor was the same. The beer poured an orangish brown color w/ thin head and lacing. The mouthfeel was light and carbonated.

jmuhops (666) - Winchester, Virginia, USA - OCT 25, 2005
Pours light amber with a large white head. Dark malt and dark fruit aroma. Not bad, but not special. The flavor begins sweet, then turns somewhat sour. There is a slight bitterness in the aftertaste. Drinkable--even pleasant--but not re-drinkable.

OOps i poured this little to fast and now theres a huge fluffy head that aint going away. Amber hue, and a soft but delicious aroma. Flavor was a jolt to the taste buds of tart unripe fruits and mild bitterness. Sense some gold or green apple peelings, along with pear and grape. All of which are fresh and unripe so it has that sour taste there. Still a enjoyable ale no matter the country it sets a strong standard.

bobaidan (433) - Southington, Connecticut, USA - JAN 24, 2012
Pours medium amber with a small head. Aroma is sweet with a hint of cherry. Medium in body with a bit of stickiness. Flavor is very sweet and unremarkable. A touch of fruity Belgian yeast keeps it drinkable.

Dark gold color.Has a sort of skunky metallic aroma,head starts out large and bubbly but evaporates fast. Has a sour malty taste. Kind of watery. Tastes ok but not as good as other Belgians out there.

rederic (2269) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 3, 2005
Bright amber color, light foamy head, hoppy nose gaving in his floral aspect, malty note follows through on a medium-bodied palate with small sour apples in a dry malty character and a bitter hop finish.

Arayaga2 (1435) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 21, 2006
Mapley color with thin white head, it’s got a yeasty cheesy aroma with a hint of caramel. Taste is a bit pretzely, and carries a funky acetic undertone. $3/11.2oz
