Bruegel

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

Bottle Light golden pour with no head and no lacing. Aroma of light sweet apple cider. Some sweet malts and a bit of fruit in the flavor. Very thin, watery, overcarbonated. Very very bland. One of the worst Belgians I’ve had.

Essa cerveja é da mesma fábrica da Tripel de Garre. Coloração marrom turva. É um marrom médio, muito bonito, meio âmbar. Creme bege e bom. Aroma e paladar de café, nozes, caramelo e malte torrado, porém tudo muito suave. O álcool é imperceptível. A carbonatação é média. Bom retrogosto. Deixa um final levemente amargo.

Couleur blonde mielleuse avec une mousse mince. Nez de maïs, de café et d’orge. Corps mince effervescence faible-moyenne, saveurs acqueuses, léger de houblon de maïs et d’orge.

Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass. A pleasant aroma complete with floral and citrus hops, some caramel malt and a herbal effect too. Clear amber color with a very small, foamy white head with cling on the edges but short retention. A light sweet taste, with some floral effects, and a more sour finish. A wetter, slightly watery feel on the palate, with modest carbonation and somewhat lacking in smoothness. Certainly a solid beer, but nothing spectacular.

Very rich amber-red color, appetizing, with a thin, fat-bubbled, tan head. Aroma is dry and toasty with winy fruitiness and some juicy fruit gum and sweet tart character. Flavor shows some richness and depth but also drinkability. A white wine fruitiness and a background but definite, juicy malt. Unfortunately, all of this goodness is ruined by an overriding plastic flavor that tastes somewhat like autolized yeast.

Not really much of a Belgian, and it calls itself an amber for what its worth. Still, I was a little dissapointed by this one as I have grown to expect more from Belgium. It is a good tasting beer, and really not all that bad. Just it’s local competition is mich better.

Bottle. This golden beer has a healthy sized white head in its glass and good lacing. I smell bread and butter, yeast, grass and a bit of caramel. The flavour is full of lemon with some herbal parts to it.
