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.

Drank at about 55 degrees - mentioned only because at that temperature, Bruegel gave off an unbelievably strong scent of apricots. Almost like sniffing a jar of jam, the fruitiest beer I’ve ever sniffed at. Taste was fruity, without any bitterness at all. But it wasn’t powerfully sweet either. A good, and different ale.

Pours cloudy amber with a good tan fluffy head. Sweet malty yeast aroma with a sour hint. Alot of flavors going on sour/tart/pear/ light malt. Finishes a little dry and sour. Overall was hurt by the sour finish. I like it but will try again maybe in the summer.

Amber color, cloudy, full and firm tan head. Mildly spicy, some yeast, banana, and some pear. Medium bodied. Not very distinctive in any way but OK.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a nice amber color with almost no head. Smells very woody and fruity. Heavily carbonated with TONS of flavors. Kinda reminds me of a Sweet Tart candy or Red Bull. Quite tart but doesn’t dry out the mouth. Very nice.

330 ml bottle. 2nd time tasting this, last time was badly infected and undrinkable. Golden orange colour with a huge fizzy and frothy tan head. Tangy and sour citrus and apple aroma. Tangy, sour, cherry, and citrus flavours with an acidic and lightly bitter finish. Light to medium bodied and dry mouthfeel. Better than last time, but nothing special.

Tap: An average Belgian ale. Appearance is pale yellowish. Tastes kinda like a mild Chimay Blue. Not bad.

Bottle: Aroma is fruit, citrus, and light vinegar. Pours a dark amber with a small off-white head. Lightly sweet up front with a vinegar, sour/tart, and acidic finish. Do not like that vinegar taste at all. As it warms vinegar and tartness decrease slightly.
