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.

0,33 bottle. Amber, clear with almost no head. Juicy and refreshing. Fruity. Interesting taste, though waterish. Medium carbonation.

Amber with a good sized head. Aroma is of wet grass an hay with some malts and hops. Flavor is malty with light hops and overall is slightly weak.

Bottle. Poured with a finger high white head, with a rusty red color to the body. Smells fairly bitter, and fairly fruity. Good lacing. Good balance, being initially malty, and finishing bitter and smooth. Its alright, but I think its darker than what is representative of the style.

Poured a clear amber with a medium white head. Aroma of apples, wheat, and some earthy notes. Taste is slightly yeasty and slightly like hay. Slightly bitter. Pretty one-dimensional and thin, but a good flavor. Overall decent, but a little more flavor would be good.

Bottle. Pours golden amber with an off white head. Malty bready-ish aroma with light hoppy notes. The flavor has sweet and bready malts and a hint of hops. Not bad.

Poured from a bottle into a snifter glass. Beer is amber and clear. Forms a thick white head of medium and small bubbles that leaves a lot of lacing on the glass. Carbonation is moderate to low and made up of large bubbles. Smells good, lots of nice esters and a yeasty aroma that I associate with tripels a lot. Smells really good. A slight sweetness as well. Beer is a little thin and light in the flavor department. There is a bitterness to it at the back but I was expecting a lot more up front in the way of some sweetness or other characters. I’m not sure what to think. Second taste, mild fruit flavors followed by the bitterness. Drinkability is OK, mouthfeel is a little too thin. Overall, its just OK.
