Silphium (2028), Lansing, Michigan, USA Dec 15, 2004 On tap at Old Hat. Listed as "Amber Rhy" on the scoreboard but I’m inclined to think this was a spelling error by the brewpub staff. Cloudy orange-red body, thin light cream head. Sweet grainy aroma with notes of caramel. Flavor had the same caramely, fruity sweetness their stout and doppelbock had, but this beer was boring by comparison. Little rye character permeated the unrefined sweetness. Sharp carbonation, bland beer. Something for the uninitiated, I suppose.
