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 cloudy reddish copper with a mountain of off white head if not poured gently. Big time yeast. Smells like a bakery. Very strong dough scents with a touch of soup / malts. Maybe a touch of sour milk. Sharp carbonation on the tongue with a yeasty palate.

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.

Not very bubble, but a big sea-foam head. Unpleasantly sour and not particuarly complex.

I tried this beer on May 21, 2009 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a translucent red colour with a ton of effervescence and a thin tan coloured head. The aroma was sweet malt, grain, and hops. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and highly carbonated. The flavour was sweet malt with a bit of sourness and a bitter finish.

Appearance: Color reddish amber. Medium head, color ivory and creamy. Aroma: Candied sweet, notes of dried fruits, reminicencias of peach, banana and oranges. Flavor: sweet initially - slight bitterness in the finish. Touches of dried fruits as almonds. To toasted cereals and with acidity-fruty. Finish some metallic. Palate: low-medium body, slightly watery. Medium to high of carbonation. Advisable. (sorry for my english)

Bottled Sample from MLCC. Another win for Belgian Ales. Am becoming quite fond of these.

What a head. I had to wait ten minutes just to make the second pour. Very smooth. Nose is reminiscent of Unibroue beers. Same yeasty profile as the brewery from canada. However a better malt presence and with less yeasty dominance. Slightly dry. I could drink this in volumes. G-rat
