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.

Definitely "easy to drink" but too weak and watery for what I expect from a Belgian. Light malts in the flavor with a light bitterness in the finish. Simple, but not bad.

Nice head and very sweet. Yeasty and malty. Make sure it is room temp. other wise it looses all flavor.

33Cl bottle, 5.2% a/v Pours a dark red tea colour with some haze. A smallish but compact off white head. Smells fruity as well as dark malt. Taste is also fruity cherry/berries with a hop based citric taste as well. The mouthfeel is somewhat thin, but a nice sweet and mellow flavour stay with you. Nice beer.

Pours a slightly hazy amber with a monsterous frothy head. Interesting sour and apricot aroma. Medium body. Taste, again interesting. kind of like a lightly peppered apricot and a slice of bread. Certainly a different beer.

For the first few seconds, the aroma was decent, orange peel and spices. Then it got metallic and sour, really fast. Flavor follows suit, some spice, some caramel, lots of aluminum. It actually turned my stomach. I hope to Christ it was a bad bottle, but I won’t go back for another, so I’ll never know.

Transparent ruby amber, nice three finger head, pleasant sizzle and mostly lasting. Aromas of yeast, nuts, bread, caramel and faint alcohol. Flavor is mostly sweet malts and yeast, finishing with a warm clean finish. Very light in the mouth. Faint lacing.

Bottle. Poured a clear, sparkling golden color with a large white head. Aroma of yeast and sourness. Possibly infected this beer had a tartness that wasn’t in itself bad, but detracted from an already bland flavor. Very mediocre.
