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.

Foamy head. Flavor like a decent American amber ale but somewhat metallic taste in there somewhere.

Pours a deep red. Smelled floral and sweet. Tasted sweet with the same floral scent coming through in the flavor. Also had a strong candy aftertaste. Overall I thought it was refreshing and I didn’t think it was a bad beer.

Pours a coppery-golden color with an almost nonexistent head. Smoky, malty aroma. Complex flavors of malt and fruit, with some appealing sweetness and a nice bitter finish. Certainly well worth a try.

Bottle 33. Clear amber beer with a heavy white head. Taste is very bitter but nice anyway with notes of malt, rosted, caramel and agrumes, a bit of citrus. The hops is nice and quite present and remains at the finish. A very pleasant beer, nice body, very drinckable and not too high in alcool. A unexpected nice experience.

Enjoyed from an 11.2oz bottle in a whiskey snifter. The beer pours a medium to deep brown, with an off-white to light tan head. Surprisingly, notes of toasted malt come through in the nose, pairing pretty nicely with the esters thrown by the yeast. The toasted notes also come through in the palate. Some bitterness is noted, although it is only slightly more than what one would usually get in Belgian ales of most varieties. Overall, I enjoyed this beer, although it cannot hold a candle to the great Belgian examples.

pours amber with minimal head and lacing. aroma of fruit and caramel, taste of fruit as well with some very slight bitterness. worth a try because it’s a little different but certainly not one of the best in breeds.
