badnewsbeers (961), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Oct 25, 2006 on tap...unfiltered orange body with small white head...light piney hop aroma and flavor backbone, leading to a more malty, toasty and sugary body...nice herbal component here as well...nice palate Silphium (1981), Lansing, Michigan, USA Oct 17, 2006 On tap at Hideout. Hazy orange-brown body, thin off-white head. Toasty aroma with grassy hops. Nutty, biscuity body, with toast and brown sugar complementing grassy, earthy hops. Fruit skin adds a sweet component. Leafy finish. Good complexity and dangerous drinkability. Resembles some brewers Oktoberfests, but Hideouts Oktoberfest is a heavier, sweeter beer with greater emphasis on caramel.
