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.

330ml bottle - Pours amber with a short white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavor is of sugar and caramel with a sour aftertaste that I found rather annoying. On the palate this is light and watery. This one was nothing more than average.

Bottle. Amber coloured with a slim white head. Sweet malty and caramel aroma. Quite a thin mouthfeel, with a malty, sugary, caramel taste and a light sour finish. Nothing special.

Beer #25 at Croydon Draught Belgian Beer Festival. Attractive bronze colour. Otherwise I couldn’t get too excited about this. Malty throughout. Reasonably dry. Nothing wrong with it, but a bit dull.

(Bottle 33 cl) Amber golden with a small off-white head. Malty nose, and some roasted malt throughout. No real sweetness though. Not really what you would expect from Van Steenberge, but then again of course they would also have a "Speciale" type in their impressive portfolio. Pleasant if not exactly thrilling. 260798

Ruby amber with a white head. Medium bodied. Mild fruity nutty aroma. Nutty sweet malts with a yeasty twist.

Buttery, yeasty, biting aroma. Smooth orange appearance with a subtle head. Flavor was buttery with a touch of hops but lacking in complexity and finish. Palate felt a touch watery. Not too bad... I’d put it higher than most other 50th percentiles I’ve had.

Transparent ruby amber, nice three finger head, pleasant sizzle and mostly lasting. Aromas of yeast, nuts, bread, caramel and faint alcohol. Flavor is mostly sweet malts and yeast, finishing with a warm clean finish. Very light in the mouth. Faint lacing.

First pour was entirely a large-bubbled, mostly white head. Eventually revealed was a thick, auburn body with particles in suspension below a tight, retaining head. Weak aromas to start... milky malts, progressing to a nice, earthy caramel when warmer. Lemony-flavor to start, proceding to salty bitter, but held together with a hearty, malt fullness. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a spicy finish.
