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.

Clear orange-brown in color, medium sized bubbly white head. Smells like fruit, poppy seeds, bread, veggies, spices. Tastes tangy, sweet, spicey. Its tastes and smells a bit strange, I think, and is slightly offensive.

A very light amber with good body. Better than most American ales but can’t hold up to the other offerings by Brouwerij Van Steenberge. Or robocop.

Talk about carbonation! As soon as the cap was lifted it went all over my counter top. I had to pour it in a glass to mellow the fizz. However it was a very good ale with a rich flavor, slight bitterness. Overall very good.

Pours a hazy amber color with a thin tan head. Aroma of yeast, fruit. Taste is a little watered down.Carbination very noticable. Not much happening here.

Yeasty, caramel, malt aroma. AMber body, small white head. Taste is tangy, hits caramel, malts, then gets tart, medium body, with a super-dry finish. Refreshing, tasty stuff. Worth trying, but nothinhg to rave about.

bottle, nice golden colour with also nicely lacing white head. Smell: fruity, spicy. Taste: malty, yeast, sweet, watery, grainy, nice hops. Very hoppy in the aftertaste. This beer has the looks but misses a bit power.
