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.

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.

Bottled. Clear, sparkling, amber ale with a decent beige head. Strange aroma with some sour note, caramel and hops. The flavor is fruity and honey-like, with hops. Thin body and a finish with sweetness and fruityness. Strange, but not bad. The finish lasts long, with a fruity hoppiness. Strange, but not bad beer. (060807)

Something very vegetal in the aroma. That and must make up the rest of the nose. Pours a clear amber with tan head. Metallic and watery, with notes of sour spinach and broccoli. Flavor has a strange oily aftertaste too. Not drainpour, not something I’d buy again.

Part of Belgian gift pack. Orange body, small white head. Aroma: Malt, peppery, some slight yeast. Flavour: Mild, slight pepper, a little yeast. Quite bland. Nothing incredible but I’m happy I had it.

bottle. pours golden with a medium off white head, and lively carbonation. The aroma was something on this that I was not expecting, was either coffee, or a butterscotch, and it was heavy, possible diacetyl? not sure. Taste however was a bit more tart with some grainy and butterscotch flavors pushed towards the back of the beer. weird.

soft drink yes but enjoyable not really. there is just not enough flavor or alcohol for my taste. there is a little bit of a sweet taste to it and some flavor just not very overwhelming

330 mL bottle from LCBO gift pack. Amber-orange in colour, with thick foamy head. Strong aroma of cinnamon-sugar and alcohol. Doesn’t taste how it smells, until the very end. Taste is sweet, with a definite lemony thing going on. Weird.
