Bruegel

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

A nice looking pour with a largish head, aroma is yeast and spice. A light bodied belgian with a sweet/sour tinge and a bit of spice in the finish. Enjoyable, not the best of the breed but a decent belgian when you need to back off on the abv.

From bottle. Fruity aroma, but less sweet than other Belgian ales I have tried. Very fizzy with white head. Blandish taste, which makes it quite drinkable compared to some other strong tasting beers

This is an ok Belgian Ale. Somewhat bland, tart, and yeasty. Finishes crisp, smooth, and dry.

A light-bodied Belgian ale--with some distinctive Belgian characteristics (deep aroma, yeastiness) that bely the 5.2% alcohol content. A bit more characterful than Palm or Vieux Temps--something good to drink when not drinking Quadrupel--a nice change of pace from pilsners or English-style ales.

bottle. Sourish taste that reminds me of a buckwheat beer I had once, yeasty...has that same belgian taste that other belgians do. Good, however not extraordinary. I liked it though.

Dull clear colour and little head. Aroma yeast and esters. Taste slightly sour and touch something musty, thin, sweetish, a bit flat and sticky but still an interesting Belgian session-type beer. Sort of a mass-produced quality to it - Bruegel is, like Mort Subite, indefineably European, even if not the greatest. Different... quite okay stuff.

Pours clear deep amber, tiny white head. Nose is sweet and fruity, lightly spiced. Very straight forward. Quite malty, not very bitter. Lots of apple sauce. Good but not exciting.

Bottled. Opaque, orange/ brown in color with a big, frothy tan head. Yeasty aroma with spicy notes and something that resembles coriander. Spicy and carbonated with generous malt sweetness. Not much in the way of hops.
