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 that I picked up from somewhere? Consumed at Campsite in Guines, France 12-06-09. Pours light brown/amber with a white head. The aroma is musty. Fruity beer, quite light in taste and almost sessionable. This is quite tasty with a little bitterness showing, but is marked down a little for having a slight metallic edge to it, though I did find it tangy and decent overall. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Poured a reddish-gold color with virtually no head. Light aromas and flavors of some spicy malts as well as some dried fruit. I wasn’t impressed with this beer; there just wasn’t much here.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a golden brown with almost no head. Aroma is not impressive. A bit of spicy malts but not much there. Flavor is crisp and malty with a bit of hops with a slightly woody finish.

I tried this beer on May 21, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent red colour with a ton of effervescence and a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, grain, and hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was sweet malt with a bit of sourness and a bitter finish.

Pours a coppery-golden color with an almost nonexistent head. Smoky, malty aroma. Complex flavors of malt and fruit, with some appealing sweetness and a nice bitter finish. Certainly well worth a try.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a medium frothy white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a very grainy malt with fruit and yeast. Good sticky lacing along the glass with a lot of carbonation. Thin mouthfeel with a slick crisp taste of pale malt and apples. A decent belgian from Brouwerij.

Average amber. Light hue for an amber. Medium flavor and slightly bitter.

Pours amber with a short lived whitish head. Smell is fresh light and bright smelling malt with some estery yeast. Taste is yeasty, fruity and malty. Clean flavors with banana. Crisp refreshing mouthfeel with a medium body. Light balancing hop flavor in finish. Pretty decent.
