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.

Pours a clear orange with nearly no head and no lacing. Tinny sweet aroma, grapefruit? Meh. Herbal astringent malting, bland aftertaste, lightly oxidized. Thin body with ok carb. Why bother?

330ml bottle from Brouwerij Van Steenberge sampler. Pours light amber with offwhite foamy head and nice lingering lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and dried fruit and figs. Flavor not as sweet as aroma hints at. Nice carbonation, slight bitter and dry finish.

I got as Christmas gift (Brouwerij Van Steenberge mix 6 pac). Honey blonde, not amber, small head. Aroma of sweet malted barley. Bland malted barley taste, water aftertaste with citrus notes. I know he’ll be better in this 6 pac!

Bottle 33. Clear amber beer with a heavy white head. Taste is very bitter but nice anyway with notes of malt, rosted, caramel and agrumes, a bit of citrus. The hops is nice and quite present and remains at the finish. A very pleasant beer, nice body, very drinckable and not too high in alcool. A unexpected nice experience.

bottle - Pours light amber-gold with some slight haze and a moderate sized, fizzy head. It has a mild aroma of malt and Belgian yeast. The first thing that struck me as I started drinking this one is that it’s simply too thin. The flavor has a good balance of malt sweetness and bittering hops that finishes a little dry. Not bad, but there are numerous better Belgian ales around.

clear amber pour with a fluffy white head. aroma is yeasty with plum, nectarine, some light floral perfumey notes. Flavor is a little musty, some bready malts with some sweetness and a light grassy bitterness. Nothing special at all

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma was full of sweet malts with caramel and grain coming through. Flavor had a strong metallic note that over powered the malt flavors in the aroma.
