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.

Slightly hazy light copper colour with a thin off-white head. Sweet honey aroma with a bit of malt. Medium to Light-bodied; Strong carbonation, subtle sweet flavours wrapped around a mild maltiness. Aftertaste very mild and only somewhat showing the flavour. Overall, not great for a belgie and should be overlooked. I bought this 33 cL bottle at Green's Beverages in Atlanta, Georgia and sampled it on 27-September-2003.

(330ml bottle) Pours a full foam head that doesnt dissipate greatly. An orange body with a sour citrus nose. Somewhat tinny taste. Under-achiever

Bottled, picked up in Brugge.Foggy, white misted amber. Dull malt flavour amongst the large, slightly astringent aroma. Dull, dry and coarse flavour and palate.
Also had at the Belgian Fest in East Croydan and had to add this to the rating for Duff. ’Duff says bready caramel, Wow, woo hoo yeh....carmel’.

Amber with a foamy white head. Aroma was complex: spice, fruit, sugar, herbs. Mouthfeel was nothing notable. Perhaps a bit too carbonated. Flavor was spicy and fruit like some herbal tea.

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.
