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.

Light amber color. Light aroma, corky (it is a corked Magnum bottle). Very dry mouthfeel, quite poor.

Clear amber with medium white head. Sweet aroma with caramel and brewing cereal notes. Same goes for the somewhat sweet flavor.

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.

Bottle. Golden with sparse white head. Toasty golden syrup aroma and toffee. Some yeasty/toffee in the mouth, bit of boiled sweet. Finish has touch of hop, more toffee. Not a great golden/amber beer, but ok.

Clear amber brown, small firm creamy head. Berries, rye, hay in the nose. Very malty, medium-bodied. Crisp carbonation. Long barley/rye aftertaste with some brown sugar notes.

Tasting at my place. Courtesy of Fonefan. Nice warm amber color and the head is nice. The aroma is rather thin with light notes of malt, spice and apple. The flavour is thin too, it has notes of malt, spice and a dry grapefruit-like bitterness. Not really my taste.

Beer gushes out of the bottle while opening. Thick, creamy off-white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus. Cloudy appearance. Hoppy, citric flavor with a hint of metal, some yeast and licorice.

A Mes rate: Great label. Great glass. Let down by the important bit. Full on yeast hit. Dry and slightly sour. Very lively in the mouth. A novelty toke but nothing more.
