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.

33 cl bottle - Pours a clear amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Very light lacing. Aroma is herbal hops and esters. Flavor is much of the same with some light malt sweetness thrown in there. Bitterness lingers a bit. Light to medium body. A decent beer.

bottle. Beer poured a clear amber with a thin off white head that left little lacing. Brew was very similar to a domestice amber like Karl Strauss.

bottle. pours golden with a medium off white head, and lively carbonation. The aroma was something on this that I was not expecting, was either coffee, or a butterscotch, and it was heavy, possible diacetyl? not sure. Taste however was a bit more tart with some grainy and butterscotch flavors pushed towards the back of the beer. weird.

33 cl bottle. Pours a clear amber with a moderate white head that was reduced to a thin ring after the first sip. Kind of funky aroma. There is some malt and caramel in the nose, but there is also stale aroma floating in there as well. Flavor is even worse. I may have to re-do my BMC ratings after this one, because this stuff is definitely worse than those. Absolute drain pour.

Deep pale amber, bit puffy white head. Nice nose, sugary and peachy, a bit Chardonnay-esque. Nice flavor, a bit sour and bitter, nice fruity undertone. Quite perfumed. Flavor dies off at the end.

Bottle in Honolulu: Pours amber with a large rocky beige head. Streaming carbonation. Lightly sour aroma. Slightly metallic.Very carbonated. Light sourness in the flavor. Sure tastes "Belgian". Pretty good.

Aroma is lemony. Appearance is cloudy orange with a large head. Taste is sharp and sour. Flavor is citrusy lemons and grapefruit. *pucker* This is like Bavik except more sour. Its ok I guess.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange amber with a big ivory head. The aroma is caramel and light sour fruit. The flavor is slightly sour with berries and brown sugar. Ok, but not spectacular.
