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. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours clear golden copper with an okay, frothy white head - okay lacing. Aroma is very mild with a light touch of caramel. Okay mouthfeel, but a touch watery. Soft flavour, caramel and lightly tart. Generally, though, it is sweet and uncomplicated.

Poured amber in color with a huge, huge head (over 5 fingers). Yeasty, hay, and banana aromas. This doesn’t taste too good to me. Dry with a sour note. Not my cup of tea.

(Bottle) Pours a clear amber body with a descent off-white head. Aroma of wheat and wet grass with a hint of fruit. Flavor of sweet malt with some earthiness.

Amber hue, nice foamy 2cm head is very sticky and long-lasting. Weird airy yeasty aroma has a dominating fruity component (apricot, peach). Coriander touch. Weird palate contains tart citric properties hat reminds of a spritzy ginger ale. Simply overcarbonated big time which inputs a limit on the flavor lenght and development. Finish then appears dry and not so clean. Sad belgian ale.

Bottle. On the bland side for a Be;gian ale. This had some reasonable orange rind and spice flavours (maybe a touch of caramel aswell??), however the character didn’t strike me as particularly Belgian, easy to drink.

Very hazy orange. Medium-white head, collapsing. Yeasty nose, fruity-estery, a sourish tinge as from wheat, coriander. Very neutral taste: again wheatimpression. Retronasal flavour as from celery, and ironoxide finish. Light to medium-bodied. Lively carbonation. Ok - but nothing exciting.

Bottled, 330ml. Golden amber colour with dissipating head. Enjoyable light refreshing Belgian Ale. Hints of clove with a touch of corriander in the flavour, nicely light and pale for a hoy afternoon, a good refreshing beer with few challenges.
