 Silphium (2006), Lansing, Michigan, USA
Feb 26, 2007 Sampled at the 2nd annual Michigan Winter Beer Festival, Lansing. Ruddy orange-red body, thin creamy buff head. Caramely aroma with earthy, piney hops. The body was sharp with cloying candy-like, caramely malts with a citrus and piney hops bite. An unhewn beer.

Jan 27, 2007 on, offered next to Mr. Hyde (an IPA) at the brewery and billed as a "sweet ale". i couldn’t really get any more details but it was clearly a malty old ale. lots of cereal graininess and only a little balancing hops, but no alcohol presence. probably covered up by the sugary malt. i wonder how they decided to call this one Dr. Jekyll and leave Mr. Hyde to be the IPA since the two beers seem unrelated - but who knows?
