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.

Pours a clear orange with nearly no head and no lacing. Tinny sweet aroma, grapefruit? Meh. Herbal astringent malting, bland aftertaste, lightly oxidized. Thin body with ok carb. Why bother?

Something very vegetal in the aroma. That and must make up the rest of the nose. Pours a clear amber with tan head. Metallic and watery, with notes of sour spinach and broccoli. Flavor has a strange oily aftertaste too. Not drainpour, not something I’d buy again.

09/01 0.33 l bottle @Hopdevil, Zagreb. It poured darker amber body with medium sized head. Sourish hoppy aroma, quite empty and ordinary. Winy flavor, caramel malty, dubbel-ish, some faint hops, but generally empty and bland. Thin bodied. Shorter and watery flavor with some grapes and that’s it. This is stated as dubbel by the brewery and has all its characteristics except the color.

Pours a clear amber with a small ring left after a small head. Sweet metallic with a bit of berry. one dimensional, drinkable, but not very exciting.

Golden tan color. Smell of caramel, grahmcrackers and honey. Taste of grahmcrackers, fruit, malt, honey and caramel. Dry white wine finish at the end.

11.2 oz bottle Pours a crystal clear amber with an off white head. Good lacing but didn’t last long. Aroma is good. Malty with just enough sweetness to make it very tempting. I get a touch honey and pears. Taste is very smooth. A light body with great flavors. The alcohol is well hidden. This is a very tasty beer. Two thumbs up.

I really don’t know what to make of this. The sourness almost smacks me of a lambic but the rest of it consists of a wet palate and way too much carbonation. The aroma isn’t bad but has a downside-sour apples dipped in paint?

light brown appearance that is very thin looking with a slight head. the flavor is lacking with a bitter slightly malty flavor. no flavor takes the forefront and it is not a good beer at all
