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.

330ml Bottle: Aroma of apples, yeast, pale malts, and grains. Poured gold/amber/apple juice in color with a small, rocky, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Sparkling. Full of extremely tiny particles throughout. Good to very good lacing. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of pale malts, grains, yeast, light apple, light fruit, slight dough, a hint of pollen, and a cloying sweetness. Light to medium body. Thin, oily texture becomes slightly dry. Average carbonation. carbonation. Cloyingly sweet, light yeast finish is lightly dry.

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

Dull clear colour and little head. Aroma yeast and esters. Taste slightly sour and touch something musty, thin, sweetish, a bit flat and sticky but still an interesting Belgian session-type beer. Sort of a mass-produced quality to it - Bruegel is, like Mort Subite, indefineably European, even if not the greatest. Different... quite okay stuff.

Bottle. On the bland side for a Be;gian ale. This had some reasonable orange rind and spice flavours (maybe a touch of caramel aswell??), however the character didn’t strike me as particularly Belgian, easy to drink.
