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.

Bottle. Nutty aroma. Excellent appearance, decent frothy head with a good carbonation level. Amber in colour. Leaves a cracking lacing around the glass as it goes down. Honey bitter but not sweet just has a clean nuttiness , easy to drink. nothing amazingly special but a great solid ale. Happy to drink this.

Sampled at the richmond beer dig spring 2010. Nose is funky. Tasted like bitter lemonade. Large carbonation is quite refreshing. Nice.

Purchased this on a variety pack. Great deal. Pours red brownish. The head is fluffy white and as it drops it leaves some nice lacing. Aromas of light malts and some spices. Damp bread I would say. Starts off great and has a lingering bitter after taste. Quite appropriate forthis style. Enjoyable. Will go well with some fish and chips.

Gregis (1250) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - JUL 31, 2008
Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a hazy copper with a creamy ecru head that diminishes to a skin at the surface and laces nicely. The nose is of toasted barley with a touch of floral hops in support. Medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter and mildly dry finish. The flavor is of toasty, sweet and lightly sour malt with a mild supporting note of floral hops. This is a pretty solid brew. I’m surprised to see it with such a low average rating.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber with a creamy white head. Aroma of apples, grass, honey, caramel, and sweet malt. Bittersweet flavor, hoppy, sometimes watery but in general, it has a good medium body. A very drinkable and well balanced amber ale.

poured from bottle an amber color with off white head. Aroma comes off as slightly hoppy almost like a light IPA. The flavor hits with a malty sweet floral hoppiness, but has a slightly astringent bitter ending. I like how this beer starts I just wished it had a stronger finish for the price.
