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.

Sweet, syrupy and very carbonated. Good head. Reminds you more of a British ale than a Belgian.

Deceitful orange seeds and coriander aromas hover almost seductively over the great show of sticky foam...Pomegranate seeds are dislodged when warming and disappear into an airy, dry ending...Hugely lacking in caramel malts, this fluffy, well-groomed, dead poodle of a Belgian ale is far from the quality of many of its peers...

Amber colour, white head. toasty aroma, fairly chewy and sweet with a light dried apricot and pear aroma. Light plumminess and a sweet richness. Lingering earthiness and toasted malt.

Bottled. Clear, sparkling, amber ale with a decent beige head. Strange aroma with some sour note, caramel and hops. The flavor is fruity and honey-like, with hops. Thin body and a finish with sweetness and fruityness. Strange, but not bad. The finish lasts long, with a fruity hoppiness. Strange, but not bad beer. (060807)

(bottle, from bierkoning - thanks!) Clear, amber colour with a short, but persistent off-white foamy head. Sweet toast-malty with aromatic notes of caramel and cacao. Moderately sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel, cacao, light notes of liquorice and subtle fruity notes, getting only a bit stronger towards the finish, turning out to be also slightly nutty, moderately sweet with a light bitterness. Okay, easy going.

The tight, frothy head almost explodes out of the bottle and into the glass. I couldn’t do a complete pour from an 11.2 oz. bottle into a pint glass. Orange/amber color and quite hazy with clumps of particles floating around in it. A very spicy nose, quite a spicy taste, with a bitter-sweet finish.

Amber orange color with a smaller light tan head. Light aroma of malt. Sweet sour flavors. Nothing special.

Bottled. Aroma is lactic with malts, caramel and herbs in the background. Amber color, beige irregular head, few lace. Sour, lactic, even vinegar, bit fruity, flat and thin. Something clearly went wrong somewhere.
