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.

I found this a fairly simplistic brew. Starts with a nice white head and deep brown colour. The nose and flavour are sweet, kind of rasin like. There’s a hint of sourness near the end and an awfully stron alcohol presence for a beer that only clocks in at 5% abv.

Yeasty, bubblegum-like aroma, slightly sweet. Thick, foamy beige head with floating sediment, hazy dark orange pour. One dimensional flavor -mainly yeast with some bubblegum notes - just like the aroma. Has a bit of spiced fruit flavor as well. Decent mouthfeel. Finish is a bit dry and leathery. Had much better from Belgium.

In the bottle. Pours a big bubbled amber with a long lasting head. Not as powerful an aroma as I expected. Body is lighter than it should be. Lacks the complex flavors expected in an exotic Belgian ale. A pretty simple beer with great malty yeasty finish.

Cloudy amber body with big rocky beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, spicy, ginger, green tea, some orange, light anise, herbal. Taste is medium sweet, ginger, green tea, yeasty spicy, some earthy/herbal in the finish. Watery medium body, some acidity, bubbly. Interesting, but I’m not wholly sure I like it.

It happens so often that you drink a beer and don’t care for it and it rates low by others. Save your cash on this one.

Hmm, I enjoyed this one. Pours with a large head, frothy white, nice bubbles. Hazy body. this beer has some bite to it.

a huge head, then a yummy root beer float. Some molasses in there? Second ferment in the bottle. An average beer from this world class brewery. Sweet taste followed on by tart and peppery spice and fruit, then long and dry aftertaste. Try just before meat dinner in lieu of wine.

INteresting auroma on this beer. Beautiful pour. Very citrusy taste. This is another one I think I am going to let warm up a bit before I drink it. Hey, I'm the 100th person to rate this beer. Cool!
