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.

330 ml bottle. Clear amber colour. Medium-sized white head. Nutty caramel aromas. Notes of burnt caramel. Hints of physalis. Light-bodied. Some mellow caramel malts, but overall t is not really particularly interesting. OK, but nothing more.

11.2 oz capped bottle: huge flowing, mash potato like head above a cloudy orange brown body. Chewy, banana/coriander aroma with lemon zest, crusty bread, and yeast. Bitter oranges offer a decent start, but the lack of any real malt and a dry, distant finish don't sit well with me. . .

Clear amber color with a decent head. Aroma is nondescript with maybe a little yeast. The flavor is watery with a little hint of apple followed by more water and yeast. It’s easy to drink and not completely tasteless. Fairly one-dimensional and boring. I have little desire to ever try this again.

Huge frothy head atop a hazy amber/copper body. Hay-like dry fruit aroma with grape skin hints. Flavor is light and tastes sweet & dry like watered-down slightly yeasty sprite. Too much carbonation... burns the tongue. Nothing special to me.

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.
