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.

Clear amber. One cm of frothy, white head. Lightly toasted caramel, muted, crisp hops, and grains- aroma. Same flavors. Dry, slightly bitter and yeasty finish. Medium body, just to the sparkling side of balanced. Nice lacing as it goes down. "Soft" is an excellent word for this beer. Nothing exciting, but quite tasty and very drinkable.

Very rich amber-red color, appetizing, with a thin, fat-bubbled, tan head. Aroma is dry and toasty with winy fruitiness and some juicy fruit gum and sweet tart character. Flavor shows some richness and depth but also drinkability. A white wine fruitiness and a background but definite, juicy malt. Unfortunately, all of this goodness is ruined by an overriding plastic flavor that tastes somewhat like autolized yeast.

Aroma di malto tostato, con note speziate e di caramello. Gusto dolce, caramellato, con un leggero rivestimento amaro che sale di tono verso il fondo. Si percepisce una maggiore gradazione alcolica rispetto a quella effettiva.

Pretty sweet tasting brew. flavour was sweet, very different from what I think of amber ale. Bit of a creamy texture. Too sweet for me.

Maroon clearly and fraught color, not a lot hazy. Compact and abundant head even if rather little long-lasting. Much spiced and sweet scent; notes of caramel, lightly toasted malt, must and cellar. Lightly prickly and mellow taste, elevated alcoholic perception with fruity, of wine and clear mildew rumors. Modest bitter. Medium extended final.

Pours amber with a minimal white head. Aroma of sweet malts, citrus, caramel and yeast. Flavor is sweet upfront, smooth, caramel notes, with a bitter finish, another good belgian brew, yet easily forgettable.

soft drink yes but enjoyable not really. there is just not enough flavor or alcohol for my taste. there is a little bit of a sweet taste to it and some flavor just not very overwhelming

Amber colored beer with a medium bright white head. Not much carbonation for a Belgian. Strong caramel smell, almost like a Rolo with the chocolate sucked off. Goes down far too easy with the lack of carbonation. Flavor is very sweet with a huge caramel taste and some hop flavor and bitterness, but predominantly sweet.
