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.

11.2 oz bottle from a 6-pack belgian sampler. pours with little foam, and ends up a relatively clear and gold color; not particularly amber. pale malt and pale aroma, slightly metallic and perceptible grassy hops. taste is flat, not in terms of carbonation but in terms of complexity. malt presents, but overall it’s a vague and bland belgian ale.

Pours a clear amber with a small ring left after a small head. Sweet metallic with a bit of berry. one dimensional, drinkable, but not very exciting.

tronraner (2429) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - JAN 22, 2007
Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber with a big ivory head. The aroma is caramel and light sour fruit. The flavor is slightly sour with berries and brown sugar. Ok, but not spectacular.

ROGUE (1315) - Newark, Delaware, USA - FEB 25, 2011
33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy orangey amber color with a thin white cap head. Smells of buttery candy, juicy fruit and a fermented malt. Taste has a thin toasted malt character, with a hint of buttery caramel and a mildly sweet fruity character of apricot in the back. Dry finish with a lingering metallic twang. Very basic, not that complex.
