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.

This started to gush when I opened it, but I was quick enough to not lose any. It had a huge head and was orange red colored. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor is sweet, malty(bread) and a little sour. Dry and tart finish.

11.2 oz bottle. The color is amber, with a white head. The aroma is sweet, with malt, and spice. The flavor is malts, with spice, and a slight floral flavor. It’s unfortunately forgettable.

Part of Belgian gift pack. Orange body, small white head. Aroma: Malt, peppery, some slight yeast. Flavour: Mild, slight pepper, a little yeast. Quite bland. Nothing incredible but I’m happy I had it.

This pours a cloudy amber color with a small white head. Aroma was grassy, and sweet. Flavor was sweet grassy and a weird sourness that is not good. Not a good belgian at all

Says amber on the bottle but is definitely closer to a double to me. Murky, muddy brown color which is not all that attractive. Earthy and fruity aroma. The fruit comes through in the flavor with some grape and apple in there. Overall a well rounded beer.

Amber clear with large creamy white chunky head generating scattered lace blobs. Very faint but pleasant floral, light bitter hops, and some reminders of decaying Belgian roadside ditch water algae aroma. Sprightly bitter start but fades rather quickly to more of a faintly sour flat English draft ale than a Belgian anything.

33cl - Aroma is stank. Wet grain, rusty water and caramel. Pours transparent brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is not as offensive as the aroma. Very sweet malts, caramel and toffee and that’s about it. Sticky palate. Nothing special but not a drain pour.

kind of disappointing. Aroma was offensive (sour). poured an amber hue with a mild white head. This beer was really thin. flavor initally was sour too, but afterwards had a bubblegum/banana like aspect to it. it was not enough to save this beer. Im glad i only had one.
