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 copper color with a nice white head. Decent lacing. Fruit, citrus, nuts, sweet malt, bread, and some floral notes. Fairly watery and overall pretty boring.

Maybe a got a bad bottle. this is a tart beer with medium malty body. Their is not much to enjoy in this beer. As I said it could be an off bottle.

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.

Pours a nice amber color with moderate off white head. Has a light malty and yeasty aroma. Initial taste is slightly sweet and metallic. The body is thin and watery. Not interesting at all. Very boring.

Pours a copper-amber color with a foamy white head. Nice roasty hoppy aroma. Sweet floral flavor with a medium body. Yummy!

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.

Bottled. Amber colour with mediumsized off-white head, which turns small quite fast. The small head last for long, along with the lace on the glass. Flavour is flowery hops, some breadyness and yeast. Vegetablyness dominates the finish and also aftertaste. very watery, and not too pleasant.

This amber ale poured with a thin off-white head, eliciting a fruity aroma. The flavor is bready with a carbonate mouthfeel and an astringet fruity finish. The body is way too thin.
