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: 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.

Bottle. Hazy orange-yellow, huge head. Slightly woody aroma followed by an excellent and straightforward flavor but with some nuances in there if you taste for it. This is like "The Simpsons" of beer; I can see appeal on many different levels. Some fruity flavors, mild holiday spice, crisp. Very good and satisfying finish; this would be a great fridge beer if I could get some of it around here.

Bottled, picked up in Brugge.Foggy, white misted amber. Dull malt flavour amongst the large, slightly astringent aroma. Dull, dry and coarse flavour and palate.
Also had at the Belgian Fest in East Croydan and had to add this to the rating for Duff. ’Duff says bready caramel, Wow, woo hoo yeh....carmel’.

330ml brown bottle.Aromas of fruit(pear, lemon), honey and iron. Clear amber, off white head is long lasting and solid. Malt and caramel start, fruity-hoppy middle and bitter hop finish. Seems a bit too carbonated, but enjoyable nonetheless.

All the same characteristics of the usual Steenberge suspects although it’s drier, more metallic and clearly the most bitter of the bunch. Meh!

Bottle. Large, creany/smooth ivory head, fair lacing, transparent, carbonated, and an orange hue. Malty, fruity and spicy aroma. Malty and caramel flavor. Mouthfeel was a little tingly. Medium bodied beer. Worth a try.

Bottle. Hazy orange-amber with a nice whitish head. Yeasty aroma with a touch of a lemon sweet/sour. Flavors of yeast, lemon, some richer fruit. Jut enough of a malt body. Good silky texture. More and more orange showing as you drink it. But still reminds me a bit of a lemondrop - not the drink- the candy.

Dark golden color with a big frothy wihite head. Sweet, tart semi-hoppy aroma. Initial taste was mellow, a lighter body. Has ginger notes and soda like carbonation. A nice dry, somewhat bitter aftertaste. Full flavor is the exception, still a nice drinkable beer.
