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.

Poured a clear effervescent amber with a small fizzy white head. Sweet aroma of butterscotch and bubble gum. Taste is butterscotch, toffee, some mild acidity and some light dry grassy hops. Bland finish. OK I suppose, but a blah session beer.

330 ml bottle. 2nd time tasting this, last time was badly infected and undrinkable. Golden orange colour with a huge fizzy and frothy tan head. Tangy and sour citrus and apple aroma. Tangy, sour, cherry, and citrus flavours with an acidic and lightly bitter finish. Light to medium bodied and dry mouthfeel. Better than last time, but nothing special.

Light amber with a medium creamy head. Weak aroma, but some sweet maltyness is detectable. The taste lasts half a second, it is not a bad taste, just way too short.

From the Van Steenberge Sampler 6 pack.

This was the most unique and interesting beer in the sampler pack. I really love Piraat, but I’ve had that one before… it’s best after a few months in the cellar though.
Pours a copper / amber body and a medium tan head. The aroma and flavor are in total conjunction! Vast notes of grains; cracked wheat and oats, also, large suggestions of walnuts and Brazilian nuts. This really smells and taste like HoneyNut Cheerios. Sweet beginning and a tart yeasty finish…. I can’t recall ever sampling a beer with character like this!

Bottle purchased at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Pours a hazy copper with a creamy ecru head that diminishes to a skin at the surface and laces nicely. The nose is of toasted barley with a touch of floral hops in support. Medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter and mildly dry finish. The flavor is of toasty, sweet and lightly sour malt with a mild supporting note of floral hops. This is a pretty solid brew. I’m surprised to see it with such a low average rating.
