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.

Thanks to DMeyers69. A light fruity cherrywood aroma with a bit of Belgian yeast. Somewhat tart, but also has a bit of nutty hint to it. Light alcohol smell, too. Is medium dark amber, clear, with off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with mild carbonation. Starts with a sweet nuttiness, a bit dry, with some tang. Mild fruity malt with ozone-like quality. Burnt toy electric train tang. Kind of watery overall, like an amber ale mixed with some flemish sour ale.

Amber colour, white head. toasty aroma, fairly chewy and sweet with a light dried apricot and pear aroma. Light plumminess and a sweet richness. Lingering earthiness and toasted malt.

Bottle. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma. Tastes of caramel, malt, slight bitterness, rather thin and incredibly bland. Not good IMO. Give me a Piraat any day.

Bottle shared with ozujsko at the Hopdevil in Zagreb
It looks nice a nice dark orange shade, with a medium sized head that went away fast. The nose was all buttery caramel, slightly milky. The taste is all that, only with some faint metallic and lemony hints and a faint whisper of hops. Remarkably unimpressive.

A light-bodied Belgian ale--with some distinctive Belgian characteristics (deep aroma, yeastiness) that bely the 5.2% alcohol content. A bit more characterful than Palm or Vieux Temps--something good to drink when not drinking Quadrupel--a nice change of pace from pilsners or English-style ales.
