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. 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.

Bottle Off-white fizzy head. Sparkling amber body. Artificial aroma of butter, caramel, grain, cookies, ... Moderately sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Weak body. Lively carbonation.

Maroon clearly and fraught color, not a lot hazy. Compact and abundant head even if rather little long-lasting. Much spiced and sweet scent; notes of caramel, lightly toasted malt, must and cellar. Lightly prickly and mellow taste, elevated alcoholic perception with fruity, of wine and clear mildew rumors. Modest bitter. Medium extended final.

A good but rather unassuming beer. Heavy on the carbonation, but a nice red color to it. A good beer, but perhaps not a first choice.

11.2 oz. bottle. Poured a clear amber, with a very strong fuit nose. Citris, apricut. Firm foamy head, offf white in color. Sour taste, not very nice. Taste like , fruit, but not good fruit. oh, I do not like this. Bitter also.

Pours a copper color with a nice white head. Decent lacing. Fruit, citrus, nuts, sweet malt, bread, and some floral notes. Fairly watery and overall pretty boring.

Light copper in color. No real sweetness, in fact a tad sour. no real hop taste also. Fizzes a little, but no head retention. Not bad at all, but not compelling me to have another.

Amber colour with a slightly off-white head. Aroma of light sweet apple cider. Flavor is light sweet paper and caramel. Boring ale from Steenberge.
