Wood-accented palate; good complexity.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of finely sized off-white colored bubbles that was mostly lasting and left behind a hazy uncarbonated light orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The aroma was hoppy and caramel malt. The mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish with a mellow hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt hops bitter and sweet.

Draft at Bonfire. Appearance was a small ivory head that mostly diminished, fair lacing, cloudy, no visible carbonation, and an orange hue. Malty, hoppy and some caramel notes in the nose. Ditto for the taste along with some bitterness. Fairly smooth, mildly tingly mouthfeel. Medium body.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Bonfire Brew Pub. Poured a medium copper color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, floral (leafy hopiness), and toffee. Tastes of pretty much the same. I found this one to be one of the better Bistro beers and I believe the overall is underated (maybe due to the some of the ratings go back a few years).
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap: Big flowery hop aroma. Transparent amber with an off-white head. Great lacing. Lots of orange peel with a huge flowery hop finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
An amber color with an off- white head. Malty aroma. Slightly bitter in an Marzen-sort of wya. Toffee notes. MBG fest.

There are four Schelde’s breweries in Michigan and Bonfire has the best food and worst beer. The ’Bitter’ is a good example of what I mean - all hops and no body or character to speak of.
