 Silphium (2114), Haslett, Michigan, USA
Sep 4, 2009 On tap. Hazy medium orange body, thin off-white head. Hoppy nose, bitter and citrusy. Sweet, resinous body with grapefruit and other citrus, backed by caramely malt. Bitter finish. Sticky, slippery, and oily. The peculiar viscosity is quite distracting.

Aug 3, 2009 MiBG Summer Fest 2009, Friday Session: (at the Corner Brewery booth) Deep golden hue with a small head. The aroma has notes of grassy and herbal hops, some pine and grapefruit esters, biscuity grains, and a touch of mineral water. The taste is pretty well balanced with bitterness versus maltiness. There was a metallic astringent character about the herbal finish. The mouth feel is a tad thin for the flavor profile. A very average entry into the DIPA style.

May 4, 2009 Draught at HopCat in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Light golden amber with a thin whispy head. Nice foamy lacing. Fairly mild hoppiness, sweet, floral, a bit piney. Light bodied, light lingering bitterness.
