Amber and cloudy, frothy foam, diminishes to a small crown, good lacing. Mild, yeasty fruity aroma upfront. Apples, pears. Some caramel. Medium, grainy sweetness. Some bitterness. Everything well balanced.
Medium light body. Smooth, bit fluffy on the beginning later watery. Average carbonation. Nice dry, medium-lasting finish.
It is a very good beer for this price.

Disappointed in this one that came in a Chritsmas haul gift. An okay amber Ale. Poor color, poor smell and taste, and didn't feel too great. It was a gift but I'm not going to buy this one on my own.

A 330ml bottle brought back from Belgium last summer. Pours a golden clear colour with a white head. Aromas of cereal, banana, apples & caramel. Tastes of yeast, caramel, bread, cereal, banana & apple. Carbonation is medium & body is medium to light. Aftertaste is a light balanced hopped in finish.

Dedicated to the Renaissance painter Bruegel, this ale shows no big merits except for being balanced overall. It's still quite sweet and grainy. Not their best offering
