Bruegel

Brewed by Brouwerij Van Steenberge
Style: Belgian Ale
Ertvelde, Belgium

Orange-red. Light bodied. Balsamic, sweetind & sourish, but still simple.

Deceitful orange seeds and coriander aromas hover almost seductively over the great show of sticky foam...Pomegranate seeds are dislodged when warming and disappear into an airy, dry ending...Hugely lacking in caramel malts, this fluffy, well-groomed, dead poodle of a Belgian ale is far from the quality of many of its peers...

-------- /> I would like to rerate this beer.
The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Fairly bland Belgian beer. Goldish color with a white head. Aroma and taste have touches of malt and hops with some yeast. Nothing special.

Amber,lasting white head. Fine scarce bead.Astringent light malt profile, lasting but mild hop finish.

Pours a clear red-orange color body with a small head and minimal lacing. Aroma is very subtle. A little bit o’ cherry, a little nutty malt, a little yeast...noting impressive. The flavor is rather eh (weak). Pretty much, a little bit of the same mixed with water eith some sourness(not bad) in the finish.

Bottle: Aroma is fruit, citrus, and light vinegar. Pours a dark amber with a small off-white head. Lightly sweet up front with a vinegar, sour/tart, and acidic finish. Do not like that vinegar taste at all. As it warms vinegar and tartness decrease slightly.

Poured a cloudy, amber brown with a thick, creamy head. Enjoyable, but nothing of great significance to this drinker. From a sampler 6-pack from Van Steenberge
