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.

Pours a dark hazy orange/brown sort of color. Lots of foam on top. Aroma is somewhat yeasy and grainy. A little bit of a fruity aroma. I think somw spice as well. Flavor is bitter and a little grainy. Some fruitiness as well. A little lacking in the flavor department. Easy to down, but not memorable.

bhensonb (7125) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 13, 2007
Aromas of caramel malt and fruit. Brilliant coppery color with a slight beige head that tries to lace. Light plummy flavor, followed by a sour component, and finishes slightly bitter and semi-dry. A really pleasant drink.

This is a fairly drab Amber, Has a slight bitter aftertaste, with a hint of burnt hops, not bad, but I wouldnt have it again.

JorisPPattyn (6424) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - JUL 24, 2003
Very hazy orange. Medium-white head, collapsing. Yeasty nose, fruity-estery, a sourish tinge as from wheat, coriander. Very neutral taste: again wheatimpression. Retronasal flavour as from celery, and ironoxide finish. Light to medium-bodied. Lively carbonation. Ok - but nothing exciting.

This beer had very much carbonation which resulted in a thick and froathy head that took a long time to diminish. Once the head went down, the beer was very nice and smooth. Not too much bite to it at all like other Belgians i have had. Very amber in flavor.

rickgordon (3758) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JUN 20, 2004
Bottled. Hazy amber colour. Not much of aroma, except from a tiny sourness. The flavour brings a porous maltiness and is a little yeasty. Finishes with a milky palate feel.

Not very bubble, but a big sea-foam head. Unpleasantly sour and not particuarly complex.
