Silphium (1981), Lansing, Michigan, USA Mar 10, 2007 Finnegan’s Red, on tap at Harpers. Murky orange-red body, thin off-white head. Caramely aroma with earthy hops. Sweet body with a touch of Cheerios but mostly caramel and fermented light fruits, balanced by earthy hops. Has a short dry beginning with metallic notes before the heft of the caramely malt kicks in. Overall this was pretty good. jollyraider (253), Los Angeles (Westwood), California, USA Mar 13, 2005 Surprisingly okay ale from Harper’s. Deep amber, off white head, rather hoppy, mix of piney and citrusy, little weak in the malts. Could just be a regular amber...
