Jul 4, 2007 Dark amber color, thick tan head but no carbonation in the glass. Rose and grapefruit aroma blending with a mild hop scent in the end. Medium palate without the intense carbonation of many belgium styles. Lemon and citrus flavor combined with strong representations of wheat give Bruegel a rounded flavor. A mild but persistant taste of hops rounds out an excellently put together beer. This brand is largely unknown in the States but it should be tried.

Jan 20, 2007 Bruegel Amber Ale
12 oz bottle
Medium pour in an English pint glass
Unknown bottling (29CD 14:27), beatified 01/07.
Poured a bright fiery orange red with a frothy white mostly lasting head with a ring and layer of lacing. Very active carbonation.
Smelt strongly of toffee, toasted wheat bread, corn syrup, caramel apples, white raisins in cinnamon bread, cola.
Taste was upfront strong sweet and sour white raisins and ripe apple or spiced apple sauce, moderate wheat bread, light caramel sauce, a tinge of metallic feel, very light vinegar followed by a strong sour apple cider sourness, moderate honey sweetness and light yeasty dough on a long mostly sour finish. Palate was medium to light bodied, lively carbonated, watery onto a dry finish, some slight metallic feel.
Overall, this is a satisfying light refreshing and flavorful Belgian amber. Easy yet subtly mystifying.

Mar 3, 2004 Oh what an exquisite little session ale. Complex beyond the alcohol content, this lively little belgian is rich in fruit and malt and fit for consumption in high volumes. Too bad this is not regularly availavle in Ontario.

Oct 3, 2000 This is a good Belgian red. For me, its degree of sourness was much more tolerable than Rodenbach Grand Cru.

Dec 21, 2001 Slightly nutty. Hints of butterscotch and rum. Mildly bitter. Well balanced. Gets better as you drink it. :)

Jan 3, 2004 Pours with a big head, nice orange color and lots of bubbles. The bubbles make it hard to really taste at first. bit of spice in the nose and a thick swallow. A nice bit of clove and orange flavor to it. This is really nice!

Dec 28, 2001 One of the better amber ales I’ve had. Very buttery taste, though. Aftertaste little to be desired.
