 Silphium (1981), Lansing, Michigan, USA
Oct 4, 2005 This wasn’t yet available on tap but I was able to score a sample. Surprisingly light-bodied for a dunkelweizen, even lighter than the Crusaders Weizen, with a cloudy brown-yellow body topped by a thin off-white head. Vinous aroma with notes of alcohol, sparkling grape juice, and banana. Alcohol hits heavy in the palate in addition to banana, white wine, and toast. Quite vinous and interesting. The sharp carbonation and alcohol kick give this a distinctive feel. One of the lightest dunkelweizens I’ve sampled but still worthy of a repeat tasting.
