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.

Amber color and thin head. Doughy aroma , malty and spicy. Palate is also very malty and overall this is tasty but unspectacular.

11.2 oz bottle from BevMo: Deep orange-amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma is malty and bready. Flavor starts fruity followed by caramel and a lightly bitter slightly dry orange rind finish. Medium body is smooth with lively carbonation.

330ml belgian stubbie bottle. This ale poured a reddish orange with a tight off white frothy cap that retains well. Fruity boquet in the nose...some slight sweet and sour effects. medium bodied...sweet without cloying and a distinct tart-peppery apricot tone to the taste mingles with doughy malts...finishes well going dry and a tad bitter...certainly one of the more drinkable belgian ales with a nice unique taste.

Faint, spicy aroma with some earthiness thrown in. Clear copper body topped by a thin filmy head and moderate lacing around the glass. On the light side, sweet and peppery. Finishes thin w/ a sliver of lasting bitterness. Sweet, biscuity malt with mild, musty yeast flavors. Pepper and faded hop flavors. Nice brew that could be sessionable due to it’s mild pleasantness.

Clear amber coloured beer with average white head and few carbonation. Malty and buttery aroma. Full sweet and fruity palate. Ending is buttery and little metallic.

An interesting ale. On tap at the Sunspot Cafe in Knoxville, TN. Nice light brownish colored pour with a decent head. Interesting taste. Malty aroma. Kind of sour, yet sweet as well. Sharp bite as well. Decent ale indeed!

Pours a clear medium orange gold with a miniscule amount of white head. Aroma is extremely sweet of caramel and butterscotch. Flavor is sweet, but then a bitter dry finish. Overall, very very lousy beer for the price.

Bottled. Opaque, orange/ brown in color with a big, frothy tan head. Yeasty aroma with spicy notes and something that resembles coriander. Spicy and carbonated with generous malt sweetness. Not much in the way of hops.
